Royal Air Maroc Nears Major Airbus, Boeing Fleet Renewal Deal

Royal Air Maroc is nearing a significant fleet renewal agreement involving both Airbus and Boeing aircraft. The airline plans to acquire around 20 Airbus A220 jets to enhance regional travel while continuing its longstanding relationship with Boeing by considering orders for up to 50 Boeing 737s and approximately two dozen 787 Dreamliners for short- and long-haul routes. These negotiations, ongoing for over a year, are expected to culminate with formal announcements potentially timed with the upcoming Paris Air Show. The Paris Air Show 2025, scheduled for June 16–22, is anticipated to be a major event for aircraft orders globally, with several airlines, including Royal Air Maroc, expected to finalize deals. Industry insiders highlight that despite the growing presence of Airbus in Royal Air Maroc's fleet, Boeing remains the primary supplier for the carrier’s future aircraft needs. This dual strategy reflects a broader trend of airlines balancing fleet modernization with diversified manufacturer partnerships amid rising global air travel demand.
