Air Senegal and Royal Air Maroc: Strengthened cooperation for African aviation
In the world of African aviation, two major players, Air Senegal and Royal Air Maroc, recently signed a memorandum of understanding which strengthens their strategic cooperation. This agreement marks an important step in the development of both airlines, paving the way for more flights, more flexibility and more possibilities for travelers.
One of the main advantages of this cooperation is the creation of a “codeshare” agreement, which allows customers to book tickets with both companies and travel on either one. This not only offers a greater variety of flight schedules, but also optimized connection possibilities, thanks to the regional hubs of Casablanca and Dakar.
In addition to flights, this cooperation agreement extends to other areas such as maintenance, training and digitalization of services. It aims to optimize the resources and expertise of each company to offer an improved travel experience to passengers.
In addition to operational benefits, this cooperation also strengthens diplomatic and economic ties between Senegal and Morocco. The two countries consider themselves “brotherly countries” and have enjoyed close relations for many years. This cooperation in the aviation sector is a concrete illustration of the desire to strengthen ties between the two nations and promote regional economic development.
Royal Air Maroc, present in Senegal since 1958, seeks to consolidate its position as a benchmark airline in Africa, while Air Senegal, created in 2016, aspires to become a leader in the West African market. Although faced with financial and technical difficulties in recent months, Air Senegal is counting on this cooperation to strengthen its position on the market and establish its credibility.
This strengthened collaboration between Air Senegal and Royal Air Maroc is excellent news for African aviation, offering promising prospects in terms of connectivity, economic development and regional growth. Travelers will benefit from greater flexibility, more flight options and an expanded network of destinations. This is a significant step forward for the African airline industry and a positive sign for the future of the sector.
