By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Bladi
Royal Air Maroc gets six additional weekly round trips from Paris-Orly to Tétouan, Laâyoune and Zagora for summer 2027, with two rotations per week to each city. The 21 additional frequencies requested to Casablanca and Marrakech were not allocated, according to the official document published on 5 November by COHOR.
None of the 14 additional weekly rotations requested by Royal Air Maroc to Casablanca or the seven requested to Marrakech was selected for summer 2027. The Moroccan national carrier instead gets two weekly rotations to each of Tétouan, Laâyoune and Zagora, according to official documents published on 5 November by COHOR, the body responsible for allocating airport slots.
The three allocations are subject to route restrictions: the slots must be operated exclusively to the designated destinations. Tétouan had been the subject of a request for three rotations, while Royal Air Maroc had requested two frequencies for Laâyoune and two for Zagora, according to Bladi.
The redistribution covers 4,368 annual slots released by airlines that had abandoned their rights or given up certain routes. They correspond to 42 weekly round trips, while applicant carriers had requested 254. Half of the available slots was reserved for airlines meeting the definition of a new entrant, in accordance with European rules.
Air Arabia Maroc, for its part, gets four weekly round trips to Fès, the entirety of its request for this destination. Its seven requested frequencies to Rabat and five to Tangier were not selected. The two Moroccan airlines had requested a total of 44 additional rotations on eight routes and receive ten, distributed among four destinations, according to Bladi.
