From a National Dream to a Global Airline

Royal Air Maroc was established in 1957, just one year after Morocco gained its independence. What began as a modest domestic carrier with a single fleet has grown into Morocco's flagship airline and a proud member of the Oneworld alliance.

From our hub at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca, we operate flights to over 90 destinations across four continents — Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. Our UK operations have been a cornerstone of this growth, connecting British travellers to Morocco's vibrant cities and the wider African continent.

Today, Royal Air Maroc carries millions of passengers annually, combining Moroccan hospitality with world-class safety standards and modern fleet technology.
