About Royal Air Maroc.
Official Airline for the ATA 35th Annual Congress
by Muguette Goufrani

We spent most of 2009 in Morocco, working from an office in our family villa near Essaouira and making frequent business trips to our colleagues in Casablanca, Rabat, Agadir, Marrakech and other places of interest - driving along most of Morocco's scenic Atlantic Coast. We also experienced the excellent train service and appreciated its seamless airport access. During those months, we flew Royal Air Maroc to Cairo, Egypt for the ATA 34th Annual Congress - and to France on other matters. We have always enjoyed our travels with this great airline and are pleased that it is again the Official Airline of the ATA Congress.

Early in m

y career as a Travel industry professional and travel agent, I had the pleasure of working for Royal Air Maroc in Casablanca -my birthplace - and flew on many of their routes around the world. My sister Izza was a flight attendant on the same airline a few years after I moved to Cote d'Ivoire. That's why it was great news for me when ATA held major events in Marrakech and Fes, Morocco, with Royal air Maroc as the official airline.

Here is some information about this quality air carrier. Full information and flight bookings are on the official website. click here

Royal Air Maroc's fleet, 30 aircraft strong put the airline in the forefront of aviation service, designed only to make the world more accessible to you.

For the extension and modernization of its medium and long haul fleet over a period of 10 years (2002-2012) and further to a call for tenders to which Boeing and Airbus Aircraft manufacturers replied, Royal Air Maroc has decided to purchase 20 medium haul B.737 next generation aircraft, 2 long haul B.767 aircraft and 4 Airbus A.321-200 aircraft.

SEATTLE, Jan. 30, 2002 - As part of its fleet expansion plans, Royal Air Maroc (RAM), the flag carrier of the Kingdom of Morocco, today took delivery of its first Boeing 767-300ER (extended-range) twin-aisle airplane. The second 767-300ER in the order is scheduled to be delivered next month. The airplanes are being leased from GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) of Stamford, Conn.

"The 767 fleet crosses the Atlantic 2,500 times per week - more than any other airplane - and I'm pleased that now it will be making regular trips for Morocco," said Seddik Belyamani, executive vice president of Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "I am confident that Royal Air Maroc has made the perfect choice for a very competitive market."

RAM selected the 767 after in-depth analysis of the competing product. In the end, RAM decided on the Boeing 767-300ER based on technical, operational and economic considerations.

"We were impressed by the 767's operating costs, range and improved cabin," said Mohamed Berrada, RAM chairman and CEO. "The 777-style cabin will provide optimal comfort for our passengers while providing greater flexibility to fly more trans-Atlantic routes, greatly improving its North American service."

Boeing and RAM have had a business relationship since 1970, when RAM took delivery of a 727-200. The carrier currently operates a fleet of 31 Boeing airplanes, including the 737-200, -400, -500, -700 and -800;747-200, 747-400; and 757-200. RAM will be leasing the airplanes from GECAS, a global aviation solutions provider offering financing for short- and long-term equipment needs, acquisition financing, aircraft remarketing and sale/lease-back arrangements. The GECAS Web site is at http://www.gecas.com/.

The 767 offers the lowest operating cost per trip of any wide body airplane and is one of the most popular twin-aisle airplanes ever built. There are more than 800 767 airplanes in service with 80 operators around the world. The 767 has accumulated more than nine million flights and has carried millions of passengers.
