Royal Air Maroc (RAM)<\/strong>, Morocco\u2019s flag carrier, is in talks with Brazilian manufacturer Embraer <\/strong>as part of a broader strategy to renew and expand its fleet, according to a source close to the negotiations cited by Reuters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Renewed Fleet Across Three Segments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Royal Air Maroc\u2019s strategy focuses on strengthening its presence in three key aircraft segments. Although exact quantities per category have not been disclosed, Embraer is vying to secure the share related to the smallest jets. This move would align RAM with other airlines that diversify their fleets to adapt to different routes and passenger demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported by the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, RAM is in discussions with several manufacturers, including Embraer, for the purchase of up to 200 aircraft. While not all would be acquired immediately, the figure underscores the scale of the projected expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embraer E2 Family Enters the Picture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Within the Brazilian offer, the Moroccan airline is reportedly considering Embraer\u2019s second-generation E2 aircraft family. This line sits just below the best-selling segment dominated by Boeing and Airbus, which exceeds 150 seats. The E2 jets are known for their operational efficiency, suitable range for regional routes, and lower operating costs compared to larger aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interest in the E2 also has stock market implications: following the news, Embraer\u2019s shares rose by up to 2%, though they later closed with a 3.6% drop due to an announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump to impose a 50% tariff on exports from Brazil, Embraer\u2019s primary market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing and Airbus Also at the Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fleet renewal isn\u2019t limited to regional jets. In June, we reported that Royal Air Maroc is close to finalizing deals with Boeing and Airbus. Currently, the airline\u2019s fleet consists almost entirely of aircraft from the U.S. manufacturer, making the continuation of this partnership likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RAM plans to acquire dozens of Boeing aircraft, though specific models remain unspecified, and has shown interest in Airbus A220s, with a potential order of 20 units, according to industry sources. This combination would allow the airline to cover short-, medium-, and long-haul routes more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Royal Air Maroc\u2019s move comes amid a broader recovery and transformation of the aviation sector in Africa and globally. Strengthening its fleet with modern, diversified aircraft would enhance its regional competitiveness, open new routes, and meet growing passenger demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
