History of Royal Air Maroc
RAM was founded in 1953 under the name Compagnie Cherifienne des Transports Aeriens (CCTA) but changed its name after the independence of Morocco to Royal Air Maroc. In 1957 the airline began flying to international destinations from Casablanca. In the 1960s, like many airlines, RAM joined the jet age with new aircrafts in its fleet. These new aeroplanes operated flight routes to destinations like Paris and Madrid until the 1970s when even newer Boeing aeroplanes were added to the fleet. By the end of the 1970s RAM had flights to destinations in Europe, North America and the Middle East.
The 1980s are marked by expansion and modernization for RAM. The airport in Casablanca was renovated and more frequent routes were added to the network. In the 1990s RAM concentrated on serving African destinations that were previously under-serviced. Instead of just serving tourists and Moroccans living abroad with airline service to and from Morocco, RAM began servicing longer haul flights with stopovers at its hub in Casablanca. This allowed RAM to cater to more and more passengers. The fleet now consists of a number of Airbus and Next Generation Boeing aeroplanes. In 2008 Royal Air Maroc transported more than 6 million passengers.
