Royal Air Maroc (RAM), the national carrier of Morocco, is set to embark on a journey of expansion and modernization with the acquisition of 10 new aircraft. The strategic move comes as part of RAM’s ambitious plan to become a global airline, quadrupling its fleet by 2038 in order to strengthen the airline’s position in the African aviation landscape as well as bolster its capacity to cater to the surging travel demand.
