Morocco’s national airline Royal Air Maroc (RAM) intends to quadruple its air fleet by the end of the next decade to support the development of the tourism sector. The target is to increase the fleet strength from 50 aircraft now to 200 in 15 years.

The tourism development plan of Morocco aims to attract 65 million visitors by 2037. This represents around six times as many visitors as today. The move will bring more revenues to the Northern African country, which has a number of important tourist spots. Also, the country is looking at attracting tourists from Israel, particularly those who emigrated to Israel after it had become a reality. Those people are still alive and their descendants are regular visitors to Morocco. Travel restrictions, which were there earlier, were lifted with Morocco recognizing Israel in a US-brokered deal.

Internationally, RAM is targeting the African, American and Asian markets.
