History
Formation
Royal Air MarocTemplate:--Compagnie Nationale de Transports Aériens was formed in July 1953 as a result of the merger of Compagnie Chérifienne de l'Air (Air Atlas) — set up in 1946 with Junkers Ju 52s — and Compagnie Chérifienne de Transports Aériens Air Maroc, that was founded in 1947 and commenced scheduled operations in 1949.<ref name="Flight1960-509" />
The fleet of the newly formed airline included six Bretagnes, four Commandos, five DC-3s and two Languedocs.<ref name="Flight1953-468" /> These aircraft worked on routes previously served by the predecessor companies, and added the cities of Frankfurt, Geneva and Paris.Template:Sfnp
Early years
The name Royal Air Maroc was adopted on 28 June 1957,<ref group="nb">The title was also reported to have been adopted in February 1957.<ref name="Flight1960-509" /></ref> with the government of Morocco having a 67.73% stake.<ref name="RAM prépare ces 50 ans d'existence" /> Hajj flights commenced in 1957.Template:Sfnp
The carrier's fleet comprised 16 aircraft by April 1958, including four DC-4s, three DC-3s, seven Bretagnes and two C-46s.<ref name="Flight1958-546" /> In May 1958, the airline ordered two Caravelles.<ref name="Flight1958-101" />Template:Rp In July, a number of long-haul routes were launched using four Lockheed L-749 Constellations leased from Air France, and the coastal Oran–Oujda run — which had been suspended in May — was reopened. Also in 1958, the carrier started flying to Gibraltar. The arrival of the Constellations enabled the airline to withdraw the DC-4s from service.Template:Sfnp
A single Caravelle was part of the fleet of four L-749 Constellations, four DC-4s and three DC-3s by April 1960, making the Caravelle the first jet aircraft operated by the company; another Caravelle was yet to be delivered.<ref name="Flight1960-509" /> The type began serving the Rabat–Bamako route in July 1961. By 1964, there were three Caravelles in the fleet.Template:Sfnp A fourth was ordered in late 1964.<ref name="FI1964-990" />
In April 1965, the company had 758 employees and chairmanship was held by Mohammed Al Fassi. The route network included services within North Africa, and also linked North Africa with France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland; the Casablanca–Dakar and Casablanca–Las Palmas sectors were also flown. Shareholding at the time was split between the government of Morocco (64%), Air France (21%), Compagnie Generale Transatlantique (7.6%), Aviacion y Comercio (5%) and others (2.4%).<ref name="FI1965-598" /> An order for a fifth Caravelle was placed in early 1968.<ref name="FI1968-44" /> By 1969, all routes to Europe and North Africa were flown using solely these aircraft.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
1970s
In 1969, the carrier placed its first order with Boeing.<ref name="Royal Air Maroc to Acquire Next-generation 737s" /> Royal Air Maroc took delivery of the first Boeing aircraft, a Boeing 727-200, in 1970,<ref name="Royal Air Maroc Receives Its First Extended-Range Boeing 767-300" /> with the carrier deploying it on revenue service on 15 May.Template:Sfnp
Subsidiary airline Royal Air Inter was formed early in 1970 to undertake domestic routes using Fokker F-27 Friendship equipment; this sister company started operations on 2 April 1970, and by May 1971, it was serving Agadir, Al Hoceima, Casablanca, Fez, Marrakesh, Oujda, Rabat, Tangier and Tetouan.<ref name="FI1971-641" /> The RAM's fleet at May 1971 comprised two Boeing 727-200s, along with four Caravelles and two SIAI Marchetti SF.260s.<ref name="FI1971-642" /> At a cost of Template:US$ million, a third Boeing 727-200 was ordered in 1972.<ref name="FI1982-487" /> In 1974, the carrier ordered a single Boeing 727-200 Advanced,<ref name="FI1974-589" /> followed by an order for a fourth Boeing 727-200.<ref name="FI1974-516" /> Also that year, negotiations with Air France for the lease of a Boeing 707-320B started.Template:Sfnp By March 1975, the Boeing 707 was part of an 11-strong fleet, along with four Boeing 727-200s, four Caravelles, and two SIAI Marchetti SF.260s.<ref name="FI1975-499" /> RAM flew the leased Boeing 707 to New York for the first time in April 1975, becoming the first Arab airline in serving this destination.Template:Sfnp During the year, the company acquired three Boeing 737-200s to replace the Caravelles.<ref name="FI1975-692" /> Also in 1975, a weekly non-stop service to Rio de Janeiro was started.Template:Sfnp An order for three more Boeing 727-200s was placed in early 1976.<ref name="FI1976-629" /> That year, the four Caravelles were withdrawn from service and sold. A Boeing 747-200B entered the fleet in September 1978.Template:Sfnp
1980s
By July 1980, Royal Air Maroc had 3,583 employees. At this time, the carrierTemplate:'s fleet consisted of a single Boeing 747-200B, two Boeing 707-320Cs, one Boeing 707-320, seven Boeing 727-200s and three Boeing 737-200s.<ref name="FI1980-349" /> Another Boeing 727-200, ordered in January that year,<ref name="FI1980-6" /> was still pending delivery.<ref name="FI1980-349" /> At a cost of Template:US$, an additional Boeing 737-200 was ordered in 1981, with the US Export-Import Bank arranging a Template:US$ million loan to secure the delivery, and RAM and private financers funding the balance. Delivery was slated for March 1982.<ref name="FI1981-1294" /> During 1982, two Boeing 737-200Cs were ordered for Template:US$ million; deliveries were arranged for March and June 1983.<ref name="FI1982-186" /> Late that year, the airline joined the International Air Transport Association.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
In July 1986, RAM was the first African airline to put the Boeing 757 in service.<ref name="Background" /> The first of these aircraft that was delivered to the company set a record for the type when it flew the distance separating Seattle from Casablanca, Template:Convert, non-stop.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
1990s
In the early days of the decade, the last of the Boeing 707s was removed from the fleet. Meanwhile, newer, more efficient, Classic 400 and 500 series Boeing 737s were introduced to increase the frequency of European routes. By the middle of the decade all 727s had disappeared. To consolidate its North American operations, Royal Air Maroc purchased a single Boeing 747-400. As the decade progressed, new routes to previously under-served African airports were opened.
2000–present
With the increasing number of passengers and newly opened routes as well as increasing oil prices, there was a need to buy new aircraft. In 2000, an order for 20 Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft and 4 Airbus A321s was placed. Meanwhile, more routes to the west and central African cities were opened. RAM was now changing, from providing flights to meet the demands of foreign tourists and Moroccan expatriates, to providing connections between European cities and African cities via the Casablanca hub. In 2002, the company leased two 767s to replace the single 747 in North American routes.
Morocco and the EU signed an open skies agreement in late 2006. This means that Royal Air Maroc will have to face tough competition from low-cost carriers eager to exploit profitable routes between Western Europe and Morocco. A further challenge arises from the high cost of kerosene and the fact that the company may have to drop some of its unprofitable domestic and international routes.
Royal Air Maroc became Oneworld's 14th member on 1 April 2020.<ref name="Royal Air Maroc to join oneworld" /><ref name="AW">Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name="Royal Air Maroc sees fleet, hub growth ahead of oneworld membership" /><ref name="Royal Air Maroc to become 14th oneworld member" />
In June 2023, the airline announced a substantial expansion plan with the goal of doubling the size of its fleet over the next decade and adding international connections with new routes to Europe. This plan was revealed by the RAM's chief executive officer (CEO), Abdelhamid Addou.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In October, the airline announced plans to purchase 200 planes within a decade through a tender, aiming to meet the demand driven by the 2030 FIFA World Cup and strengthen its presence in the growing African market.<ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
