Royal Air Maroc has expanded its European network with four new destinations, increasing belly cargo capacity and strengthening freight links between Europe and Africa via its Casablanca hub.
The airline has launched services to Bilbao and Alicante in Spain, Verona in Italy and Lille in France.
The routes are primarily operated by Boeing 737 aircraft, offering up to three tonnes of cargo capacity per flight while feeding into Royal Air Maroc's long-haul passenger and freighter network.
The expansion strengthens the carrier's presence in key European markets, combining passenger demand with additional freight capacity for regional trade and diaspora traffic.
Bilbao becomes Royal Air Maroc's fourth destination in Spain, alongside Madrid, Barcelona and Seville, while Alicante provides access to the Costa Blanca region and its sizeable Moroccan community.
Verona, launched in June, is the airline's eighth Italian destination, joining Rome, Milan, Bologna, Naples, Catania, Turin and Venice. Lille, added in July, increases cargo capacity from northern France while also serving the region's Moroccan diaspora.
Rita Chraibi, vice-president cargo at Royal Air Maroc, said: "As a key strategic gateway into Africa, our focus at Royal Air Maroc is on connecting high-potential regional markets in Europe that can generate consistent point-to-point demand and feed cargo flows through Casablanca to destinations across Africa and other international markets in the Americas and Asia.
"While there is keen competition among leisure-focused carriers operating to these destinations, Royal Air Maroc's ability to also deliver exceptional cargo services for a broad range of commodities is what sets us apart.
"These new routes support both import and export flows and increase the efficiency of our growing international network through improved frequencies, greater flexibility and more attractive transit times."
Royal Air Maroc Cargo now serves more than 81 destinations worldwide.
The airline said the latest additions further strengthen Casablanca's role as a logistics gateway between Europe and Africa, supporting the movement of industrial goods, pharmaceuticals and other cargo across its international network.
