Royal Air Maroc Orders Boeing 787s

Royal Air Maroc was revealed as a Boeing 787 Dreamliner customer at the end of Day 1 at the 2023 Dubai Airshow.

Breaking Down The Order

The airline has announced a commitment to add two Boeing 787-9s to its order book—a decision as it looks to grow its widebody fleet.

With nine Dreamliners currently operational, adding two more will provide greater flexibility as it expands the long-haul network.

Additionally, it will ease pressure on existing units currently in operation.

Previously, Boeing listed this deal as unidentified on its orders and deliveries website.

The Royal Air Maroc Fleet

Royal Air Maroc currently flies mostly Boeing aircraft spread across various aircraft types.

The airline flies a fleet of 737 aircraft, including 28 737-800s and two 737-8s, part of the next-generation fleet.

Five 787-8 Dreamliners are in service, working alongside four 787-9s. Thanks to the latest commitment, this is expected to grow.

Comments From Executives

The two Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners will enable Royal Air Maroc to expand in the short-term its long-haul network in response to the highly favorable market conditions in 2023. Simultaneously, the company is actively pursuing a significant tender to quadruple the fleet before 2037
