SEATTLE, April 02, 2002 -- Royal Air Maroc has added another 737-800 airplane to its fleet. The new 737 is part of a previous order for nine 737s placed by the airline in 1996. Last year Royal Air purchased 20 additional 737s. The carrier will use the new medium-range airplanes to continue developing its routes to destinations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The 737-800 will join the carrier's current fleet of 28 Boeing 737s, nine of which are Next-Generation 737 airplanes, and two that are leased.
"The Next-Generation 737s allow us to increase our flexibility and reduce operating costs, while improving service and frequency," said Mohamed Berrada, Royal Air Maroc chairman and chief executive officer.
