Boeing, a leading global aerospace company, and Royal Air Maroc (RAM) announced on Monday a repeat purchase order for the 787 Dreamliner, according to Boeing’s press release.
Royal Air Maroc confirmed the purchase of two 787-9s to increase its widebody fleet and meet the growing need for long-distance flights.
“The two Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners will enable Royal Air Maroc to expand in the short-term its long-haul network in response to the highly favorable market conditions in 2023,” explained RAM’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Abdelhamid Addou.
Addou added that the order was part of the Moroccan company’s ambition to quadruple its fleet by 2037.
“Boeing’s relationship with the airline spans more than five decades, and we look forward to more opportunities to strengthen our partnership with Royal Air Maroc,” highlighted Brad McMullen, Boeing senior vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing, following the announcement.
So far, the Royal Air Maroc’s fleet of Boeing airplanes includes 737s as well as 787s.
Last month, the CEO of the national airline announced that the company aims, by 2037, to progressively strengthen its flight schedule, change dimension, and focus more on fleet expansion and improving the customer experience, as well as opening medium-haul and long-haul routes on all four continents.
RAM also plans to develop a transversal network with 46 routes and 173 frequencies that will connect the Kingdom’s 12 regions, said Addou, taking into account the challenge of sustainable development and decarbonization.
