Royal Air Maric said the new plan is part of a partnership with the regions of Dakhla-Oued Eddahab, Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra, and Guelmin Oued Noun.
The expansion is part of a strategy to connect Moroccan regions to “better meet citizens’ needs and support regional economic growth,” the national carrier said in a press release.
It emphasized that the company witnessed steady growth in air services from southern provinces since 2005. The company recorded an increase from an average of six weekly flights to 63 flights per week.
CEO of Royal Air Maroc Hamid Addou celebrated the development of domestic air connections, stating that this strategy aligns with King Mohammed VI’s vision and high directives.
“By reinforcing our presence in the south, we aim to efficiently connect regions, enhance mobility, and support territorial dynamism,” Addou said.
He added that the launch of the new routes is part of the company’s commitment to linking all regions and promoting social, familial, and economic vitality across Morocco.
