Royal Air Maroc Cargo, the cargo division of Morocco’s flagship carrier, has unveiled an ambitious vision for the future, underscoring a bold strategy built on global expansion, digital innovation, sustainability, and deep community engagement. At the heart of this transformation is the airline’s fleet modernization, driven by the introduction of the new generation widebody aircrafts that embody the airline’s commitment to safety, operational efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
This year, Royal Air Maroc Cargo is focused on extending its footprint across Africa while targeting emerging opportunities in Asia and the Americas. With a global network of 82 destinations—including key hubs in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Europe, and the Middle East—the airline is uniquely positioned to connect high-growth markets with efficiency and agility.
The PAX widebody fleet play a pivotal role in this strategy, offering a larger network and increased range, fuel efficiency, and cargo capacity. These next-generation aircraft not only enhance Royal Air Maroc’s long-haul capabilities but also align with the airline’s vision for a lower-carbon, sustainable future. Alongside 30 narrowbodies and a dedicated B767 freighter, the widebody fleet strengthens the carrier’s ability to move both bulk and palletized cargo with exceptional flexibility.
“Our vision is to expand Royal Air Maroc Cargo’s global network, connect emerging and established markets, and strengthen Morocco’s position as a trade and logistics hub,” said Yassine Berrada, Vice-President Cargo at Royal Air Maroc. “With the introduction of the new generation widebodies, we are not only increasing our operational capacity but also reducing our environmental impact—helping us build a future that is innovative, responsible, and customer-focused.”
Royal Air Maroc Cargo’s Casablanca hub remains a central pillar in this vision, serving as a strategic transit point between continents. The hub is equipped with a state-of-the-art cargo terminal offering 200,000 tons of annual capacity and specialized areas for sensitive shipments, including perishables, pharmaceuticals, and high-value goods.
The airline continues to elevate its customer service through partnerships with digital platforms like cargo.one and Cargo.AI, ensuring 24/7 access to booking, scheduling, and real-time availability. Future enhancements include real-time tracking, automated documentation, and seamless digital communications, offering clients a transparent and streamlined experience from start to finish.
Sustainability is embedded in every facet of Royal Air Maroc Cargo’s operations. In addition to operating a fuel-efficient fleet, the airline supports IATA’s Eco Hub initiatives, has implemented solar photovoltaic systems at its facilities, and adopted biodegradable wrapping to minimize waste. The airline also plays a critical humanitarian role, delivering medical supplies and vaccines across the continent in partnership with AIRLINK and other global first aid organizations.
Looking ahead, Royal Air Maroc Cargo is charting a course defined by growth, innovation, and global connectivity. With its advanced fleet, and a steadfast commitment to sustainability, growth, and service excellence, the company is poised to lead the next chapter in African and global cargo logistics.
