Minister of Transport Abdessamad Kayouh announced on Monday the news at the House of Representatives, noting that 29 ships have been mobilized with a weekly capacity of 500,000 passengers and 130,000 vehicles spread across 13 maritime lines.
Authorizations have also been granted to 59 airlines to operate around 2,135 weekly flights between Moroccan airports and 141 international airports.
Kayouh also commented on Royal Air Maroc’s deployment and contribution to the operation, noting that the carrier mobilized four additional aircraft for the summer season.
It will offer a total of 6.6 million seats, an increase of 700,000 seats compared to 2024, the minister said, adding that Royal Air Maroc’s summer program reflects the carrier’s commitment and support for efforts to facilitate the return of Moroccans living abroad.
Morocco adopted the “Open Sky” policy in 2006, a decision that has contributed to the logistics sector with over 50 airlines, including several low-cost carriers.
Marhaba operation is an annual initiative that Morocco launches to facilitate the transit of Moroccans from June to September.
Last year, Moroccan authorities stressed that over 2.8 million passengers, including 2 million Moroccans living abroad and 662,000 vehicles, transited through Moroccan ports during last year’s edition.
