Strategic rapprochement in the world of African aviation: Air Sénégal and Royal Air Maroc sign a partnership agreement
In a move to strengthen their presence in the African market, Air Senegal and Royal Air Maroc recently signed a memorandum of understanding in Casablanca. This partnership agreement will allow the two airlines to offer more flights and facilitate the purchase of tickets for their passengers.
The agreement notably provides for the establishment of a “codeshare”, which means that customers will be able to book flights with both companies and travel on one or the other indifferently. This collaboration will provide travelers with greater flexibility in their travel, with a variety of times and connections available.
In addition to the operational aspect, this partnership agreement also paves the way for other areas of cooperation, such as maintenance, training and digitalization of services. The two companies will thus be able to share their skills and resources to offer an improved travel experience to their passengers.
This collaborative initiative between Air Senegal and Royal Air Maroc demonstrates the excellence of diplomatic and economic relations between Senegal and Morocco. The two countries consider themselves “brotherly countries” and seek to strengthen their cooperation, particularly in the field of aviation.
Royal Air Maroc has been present in Senegal for more than 60 years, since the opening of the Casablanca-Dakar line in 1958. The company is one of the most active on the Senegalese market and aims to become a reference in Africa. As for Air Senegal, created in 2016, it seeks to position itself as a leader in the West African market, although it has encountered financial and technical difficulties in recent months.
This partnership between Air Senegal and Royal Air Maroc opens new perspectives for the development of African aviation. By offering more flights and improved services, the two companies are contributing to the growth of the airline sector on the continent. Travelers will thus be able to benefit from a wide choice of destinations and quality services, thus facilitating their travel in Africa and around the world.
In conclusion, the partnership agreement between Air Senegal and Royal Air Maroc marks an important step in the development of African aviation. This strengthened collaboration will improve the offer of flights and services for travelers, while strengthening links between Senegal and Morocco. This is a step towards greater connectivity and accessibility for passengers, thereby contributing to the growth of the aviation sector in Africa.
