Royal Air Maroc 787-8
Royal Air Maroc (RAM) is pushing ahead with its expansion plans for 2026, as it prepares to roll out new direct routes across Africa, the Americas and Europe.
RAM will introduce several new services from its hub at Casablanca’s Mohammed V International Airport. Beginning in April 2026, the airline plans to launch flights to Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo; Tripoli, Libya; Beirut, Lebanon; and Spanish cities Alicante and Bilbao.
The airline will also add a new Casablanca-Palma de Mallorca route in June 2026, alongside the launch of a direct service to Verona, Italy, starting June 20, 2026.
RAM CEO Hamid Addou said the new routes translate to the airline’s growth ambitions.
“Since 2023, we have taken delivery of around 10 additional aircraft, increased frequencies on several strategic destinations, and opened nearly 20 international routes,” Addou said. “In 2026, we move to a new phase with at least 10 additional routes, further strengthening Morocco’s connectivity with major global cities and supporting economic and tourism development.”
The new routes in 2026 follow previously announced services, including St. Petersburg in Russia, which is set to launch in January 2026.
Earlier in December, RAM also announced a new nonstop service between Casablanca and Los Angeles on June 7, 2026. The 3X-weekly route will take about 12 hr. and be operated using Boeing 787 aircraft.
The airline will also increase frequencies on several long-haul routes, particularly to the Americas and the Middle East. These include São Paulo, Miami, Washington, and Dubai.
To support the route expansion, RAM is expected to introduce new long-haul aircraft featuring upgraded cabins. The move is part of the airline’s long-term fleet plan to grow from roughly 60 aircraft today to 200 by 2037.
