To allow the many Moroccans wishing to support the national team and to attend the semi-final of the World Cup which will take place on December 14, 2022, Royal Air Maroc will set up an air bridge between Casablanca and Doha which will be preceded by marketing tickets in its official network (sales agencies, call centers and the company’s website) but also in independent travel agencies, announces a press release from RAM.
“The importance of the airlift represents a historic record for the RAM”
To set up this new air bridge, the national company will offer nearly 30 flights operated by jumbo jets which will be scheduled next Tuesday and Wednesday.
While RAM hasn’t disclosed the number of tickets on offer, just multiply the number of flights (30) by the average capacity of a Dreamliner of around 300 seats to get the average figure of 9,000 tickets on sale.
This aerial system set up in partnership with the Ministry of National Education, Preschool and Sports and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), represents a historical record for Royal Air Morocco.
« We are proud to be able to accompany this exceptional adventure of the Atlas Lions at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. After the success of the unprecedented system put in place for the match between Morocco and Portugal, we are now multiplying it by four by mobilizing nearly 30 flights by jumbo jets in the space of just 24 hours. Through our public service mission and in order to promote Morocco and support our national team, Royal Air Maroc will not skimp on technical and human resources. We are all behind the Atlas Lions “says Abdelhamid ADDOU, CEO of Royal Air Maroc.
Travel agencies authorized to sell tickets
This unique offer will be offered for sale from Monday, December 12 at the special price of 5,000 DH including tax (round trip). To enable a large number of Moroccans to benefit from it, RAM has innovated in terms of distribution.
The marketing of these tickets will thus be carried out on the site (www.royalairmaroc.com), at the level of the Company’s sales agencies, and via its call centers, in addition to the national network of travel agencies.
