Exciting New Chapter for Royal Air Maroc at JFK Airport

Date: May 7, 2025
Location: Casablanca, Morocco, and New York City, USA

In a groundbreaking move that underscores its commitment to enhancing international connectivity, Royal Air Maroc, the national carrier of Morocco, is preparing to commence operations at the New Terminal One at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in 2026. This strategic partnership is part of the airline’s ambitious vision to strengthen transatlantic ties, seamlessly connecting Africa with North America, while elevating the travel experience for its passengers.

The New Terminal One represents a significant component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s extensive billion transformation plan for JFK Airport. With modernized terminals, enhanced ground transportation, and a state-of-the-art design, the revamped airport aims to evolve into a premier global gateway, and Royal Air Maroc is poised to play a vital role in this transformation.

Jennifer Aument, CEO of the New Terminal One, expressed enthusiasm about welcoming Royal Air Maroc, stating, “This milestone marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the airline in New York City. We look forward to a strong and lasting partnership that supports the airline’s growth ambitions across the United States.”

For Royal Air Maroc, this partnership signifies an important leap in its growth strategy. Mr. Hamid ADDOU, the airline’s Chairman and CEO, remarked, “This partnership is a major milestone for Royal Air Maroc and strengthens our strategic presence in New York, a key gateway for our transatlantic operations. We are proud to join this innovative terminal, which will offer our passengers an exceptional travel experience.”

By relocating to the New Terminal One, Royal Air Maroc aims to redefine its customer journey, offering travelers an effortless experience enhanced by modern amenities. The terminal will feature premium retail and dining options, showcasing luxury brands and quintessential New York products, ensuring a memorable departure experience for travelers heading to Casablanca and beyond.

Royal Air Maroc operates up to double daily flights to Casablanca from JFK on its Boeing 787 aircraft. With a knack for connecting people, the airline currently serves over 90 destinations worldwide and plans to expand to 147 by 2037, creating numerous travel opportunities that highlight Africa’s unique cultural heritage.

This move is a part of Royal Air Maroc’s broader initiative, including a commitment to quadruple its fleet by 2037 and serve 32 million passengers annually. Moreover, the airline’s recent globally competitive shift began with its entry into the prestigious oneworld alliance, connecting Morocco to a vast international network.

As Royal Air Maroc prepares for this exciting new chapter, travelers can look forward to a remarkable combination of Moroccan hospitality and cutting-edge aviation standards, making every journey feel like a rewarding experience.
