Rabat – Morocco’s flag carrier Royal Air Maroc (RAM) has won two awards at the 51st annual meeting of the Association of African Airlines (AFRAA) in Mauritius.
Maghreb Arab Press (MAP) reported that the company won two awards as the best company in two categories, “Global Operations” and “Best Improved financial results.”
The staff at Royal Air Maroc are pleased with the symbol of international recognition.

Such recognition is encouraging the company to “redouble” its efforts to “achieve a single African air transport market that will make it possible to remove barriers of protectionism in order to achieve a growth in air traffic on our continent, driven mainly by African airlines and in the interests of the economies of our countries and our fellow citizens,” he added.
