American Airlines has launched a reciprocal codeshare agreement with Morocco’s largest airline, Royal Air Maroc. The deal will add new options for travel to Morocco from its launch on December 26th.

Boeing has delivered the first 787-9 Dreamliner for Royal Air Maroc, introducing a second member of the super-efficient Dreamliner family to the airline’s fleet. The new airplane offers more seats and more range, which will help Morocco’s flag carrier grow its international business.

Boeing and Royal Air Maroc have announced orders for four 787-9 Dreamliners – valued at $1.1 billion at list prices – that will enable Morocco’s flag-carrier to expand international services. The orders include two 787s purchased in December 2016 and two purchased this month.

Qatar Airways and Royal Air Maroc are set to further strengthen their recent business partnership with the launch of new code-share routes across Royal Air Maroc’s extensive West African network. The deal will also extend to both airlines’ routes between Qatar and Morocco. The new code-share agreement comes shortly after Qatar Airways chief executive Akbar Al Baker and Royal Air Maroc chairman, Driss Benhima, signed a joint business agreement at the recent Arabian Travel Market in Dubai, in the presence of international press and travel trade partners.
