Royal Air Maroc (RAM) said on Dec 15 it will launch nine new direct routes next year across Europe, Africa and the Americas, advancing its strategy to position Casablanca as a global hub and deepen Morocco’s international connectivity.
RAM confirmed, in a statement, it will start Casablanca–Saint Petersburg in January 2026 and Casablanca–Los Angeles in June 2026.
From April 2026, the carrier will add five more routes from Casablanca to Bilbao and Alicante in Spain, Beirut in Lebanon, Pointe-Noire in the Republic of the Congo, and Tripoli in Libya.
The Italian routes will be strengthened with a nonstop Casablanca–Verona service from June 20, 2026, complementing existing links to Rome, Milan, Bologna, Naples, Catania, Turin and Venice.
In France, RAM plans to open a Casablanca–Lille route in July 2026.
“These new lines mark a key step in our growth plan,” Chairman and Chief Executive Hamid Addou said in the statement.
“Since 2023, we have welcomed around ten additional aircraft, increased frequencies on several strategic destinations and opened nearly twenty international routes. In 2026, we take another step with at least nine new routes, strengthening Morocco’s connectivity with major global cities and contributing to the Kingdom’s economic and tourism prominence,” he said.
RAM said the move is anchored in a dual-track expansion: scaling up the medium-haul network while extending long-haul operations as new aircraft enter the fleet.
The airline also intends to raise frequencies on long-haul routes it deems strategic, including São Paulo, Miami and Washington, as well as Dubai. The incoming long-haul aircraft are slated to feature upgraded cabins, higher comfort standards and connected onboard services aligned with international benchmarks.
