The deal, announced by DAE on January 29, marks a key step in the Moroccan carrier’s fleet expansion strategy as it focuses on strengthening its medium-haul operations.
The addition of these aircraft supports Royal Air Maroc’s ongoing modernization efforts and aligns with its goal of increasing capacity on both regional and international routes.

It allows airlines to serve a wide network of destinations with lower fuel consumption, contributing to better cost performance and reduced emissions. For Royal Air Maroc, the arrival of these aircraft is expected to boost profitability while advancing its sustainability objectives.
For Dubai-based DAE, one of the world’s largest aircraft lessors, this agreement strengthens its position in North Africa and reinforces its role as a strategic partner for major regional airlines. The company continues to expand its portfolio by supporting carriers seeking flexible and efficient fleet solutions.
