Moroccan Royal Airline (MRA) is planning to invest up to $25 billion to quadruple its current fleet size from 50 aircraft to a whopping 200 over the next ten years.
The announcement was made by the company’s CEO, Abdelhamid Addou, during the sidelines of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings in Marrakech.
Addou stated that the primary objective behind this ambitious aircraft acquisition plan is to position Morocco as a global hub. The country aims to transform Casablanca into a modern aviation center with substantial capacity, especially as Morocco secured the rights to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
This decision marks a significant acceleration in the airline’s previous fleet expansion plans, which originally spanned a 15-year timeline. Prior to 2019, the airline had a fleet of 60 aircraft.
