Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) has reached an agreement with Royal Air Maroc for the lease of 13 new Boeing 737-8 aircraft, scheduled for delivery in 2027. This follows an earlier agreement for two Boeing 737-8 aircraft, which were delivered in 2025.

Firoz Tarapore, Chief Executive Officer of DAE, said the company was pleased to partner with Royal Air Maroc on its significant fleet expansion. He noted that Morocco is a fast-growing tourist and business hub in Africa, supported by the airline’s expanding connectivity, and added that DAE looked forward to continuing to support Royal Air Maroc’s future fleet requirements.

Abdelhamid Addou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Royal Air Maroc, emphasised: “This agreement is fully aligned with Royal Air Maroc’s strategic ambition to become a leading global connector. The Boeing 737-8 Aircraft will strengthen our network development capabilities, enabling new route openings and increased frequencies with greater operational efficiency. It also enhances our flexibility to serve growing demand while delivering reliable connectivity between Africa, Europe, and beyond.”
