To further strengthen their recent business partnership, Qatar Airways and Royal Air Maroc are launching new codeshare routes across Royal Air Maroc’s extensive West African network as well as on both airlines’ routes between Qatar and Morocco this month. The expanded agreement offers passengers enhanced links between Qatar and Morocco, greater choice of flights and improved frequent-flyer benefits.

“The launch of this codeshare agreement with Royal Air Maroc is great news for our business and leisure passengers who frequently travel on Qatar Airways, as they will be able to connect seamlessly onward to almost 20 destinations across the West African region,” said Akbar Al Baker, CEO, Qatar Airways. “Qatar Airways also looks forward to welcoming Royal Air Maroc’s passengers on our own service and sharing our award-winning service and hospitality.”

Passengers traveling to Casablanca on Qatar Airways (CMN) will now be able to connect onto the West African cities of Cotonou (COO), Ouagadougou (OUA), Praia (RAI), Brazzaville (BZV), Pointe Noire (PNR), Abidjan (ABJ), Libreville (LBV), Banjul (BJL), Conakry (CKY), Bissau (OXB), Monrovia (ROB), Bamako (BKO), Niamey (NIM), Lagos (LOS), Nouakchott (NKC), Freetown (FNA) and Lome (LFW).

Within Morocco, passengers will also be able to travel onward to the domestic cities of Marrakech (RAK), Agadir (AGA), Tangier (TNG), Guelmime (GLN), Tan Tan (TTA), Tetouan (TTU), Al Hoceima (AHU), Fes (FEZ), Errachidia (ERH), Oujda (OUD), Nador (NDR), Ouarzazate (OZZ), Zagora (OZG), Laayounte (EUN), Dakhla (VIL) and Beni Mellal (BEM).

Complementing Qatar’s existing daily flights to Casablanca, Royal Air Maroc launches three weekly flights to Doha from Sept. 9, operated with Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. Both airlines will codeshare on each other’s operations, giving passengers the flexibility of using a combination of flights from both airlines between Qatar and Morocco.
