Royal Air Maroc Cargo has introduced a new all-cargo route connecting Casablanca with Dakar (CMN-DSS). The weekly Friday service, operated by a Boeing 767 freighter with a 45-ton payload capacity, further strengthens the carrier’s position as a key logistics link between North and West Africa. Dakar’s inclusion enhances the airline’s dedicated freighter network which serves Brussels three times a week, and Istanbul, Ouagadougou, and Bamako twice weekly each. The dedicated freighter services run alongside a wide-ranging passenger network which serves Africa, Europe, the Americas and Asia.
In addition to its Boeing 767 freighter fleet, Royal Air Maroc provides daily cargo capacity aboard its Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Boeing 737 fleets, thus ensuring responsive and efficient transport options for both regional and long-haul markets. Casablanca hub, the center of its network, is capable of handling up to 200,000 tons of freight annually. It features dedicated facilities for perishables, pharmaceuticals, and high-value shipments, enabling fast connectivity to over 30 African destinations.
The new Casablanca–Dakar route is the latest in the airline’s growth plans, following on the heels of its recent expansions to Beijing, São Paulo, and Toronto, aligning with its goal of reaffirming RAM’s strategy 2026, and a short time later. Rita Chraibi, Vice President Cargo at Royal Air Maroc, commented: “This new freighter route marks another milestone in our long-term vision to reinforce Africa’s logistics ecosystem and bring markets closer together. 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.”
