Casablanca, Morocco, January 5, 2026:
Royal Air Maroc Cargo, the cargo division of Morocco’s national carrier, has launched a new dedicated freighter route between Casablanca and Dakar (CMN–DSS). Operated by a Boeing 767 freighter offering 45 tons of capacity, this weekly Friday service strengthens the airline’s role as a strategic connector between North and West Africa.
The addition of Dakar expands the airline’s freighter network, which already includes Brussels (three flights per week), Istanbul (two), Bamako (two), and Ouagadougou (two). Together, these routes form a robust regional backbone that complements Royal Air Maroc Cargo’s wide passenger and belly hold network across Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
Supported by its B767 all-cargo aircraft, the airline also offers daily cargo capacity on its Boeing 787 Dreamliners and Boeing 737 aircraft, ensuring flexible and efficient service across intra-African and intercontinental routes. At the heart of this network, the Casablanca hub, equipped with a 200,000-ton annual handling capacity and specialized facilities for perishables, pharmaceuticals, and high-value goods, enables swift onward connections to more than 30 African destinations.
“This new freighter route marks another milestone in our long-term vision to reinforce Africa’s logistics ecosystem and bring markets closer together,” said Rita Chraibi, Vice President Cargo at Royal Air Maroc. “Senegal is one of West Africa’s most dynamic economies, and our dedicated Casablanca–Dakar service directly addresses customer demand for reliability, capacity, and speed while advancing our goal of building sustainable and efficient air bridges across the continent.”
The launch of the Casablanca–Dakar service follows recent network expansions to Beijing, São Paulo, and Toronto, reaffirming Royal Air Maroc Cargo’s strategy to consolidate its leadership in Africa and enhance trade flows between the continent and the world.
