Cesar Alruiz, the sales manager for Royal Air Maroc, spoke with ANBA during Abav Expo about the oneworld agreement.
“We have signed it, but now we must integrate the systems, the mileage, the data.… It takes time, but by June, everything will probably be connected,” he said.
By joining the alliance, he added, RAM will add “connectivity to stopovers in Brazil and across Latin America.”
The sales manager emphasized that the agreement will help the company grow “a lot.”
“Clients will get the ease of checking in two 23-kg luggage items and carry one 10-kg handheld item, since the connection flight. For instance, it [sic] they depart from Porto Alegre (RS) to take the flight in Sao Paulo, the luggage will be included in the final, one-off ticket price. That will cut costs for passengers,” he said.
