Royal Air Maroc expanding fleet
Flag carrier Royal Air Maroc is expanding its short to medium haul fleet.
It will take six Boeing 737-8 Max aircraft from Ireland based lessor Avolon.
The agreement marks Avolon’s first lease to the airline.
Royal Air Maroc has a fleet of 59 aircraft, and flies to 98 domestic and international destinations.
The first two aircraft on lease from Avolon were delivered in recent weeks with the remainder to deliver through 2025 and 2026.
The aircraft will support Royal Air Maroc’s strategy to transition from operating as a regional carrier to a global connector, aiming to serve 32 million passengers annually by 2037.
Traffic growth of over 6% per annum is expected in Africa out to 2044, with over 1,200 new aircraft to be added to the continent’s commercial fleet.
Paul Geaney, President and Chief Commercial Officer, Avolon said: “We are excited to welcome Royal Air Maroc as a new customer to support their ambitious growth plans. Africa is expected to be one of the fastest growing regions for aviation over the next twenty years.”
