The Minister of Transport and Logistics, Abdessamad Kayouh, announced on Monday before the House of Representatives that, in preparation for Operation Marhaba 2025, his department has implemented a series of measures in coordination with all stakeholders to ensure the transport of 7.5 million travelers and 2 million vehicles across 13 maritime routes. In response to a question about transportation fares across all modes, Kayouh said that 29 ships have been mobilized, offering a weekly capacity of 500,000 passengers and 130,000 vehicles, for a total of 7.5 million travelers, 2 million vehicles, and 7,800 crossings. He also noted that 59 airlines have been authorized to operate approximately 2,135 weekly flights between Moroccan airports and 141 international destinations. As for Royal Air Maroc (RAM), the national carrier has added four aircraft to its fleet for the summer season. It will provide 6.6 million seats, an increase of 700,000 compared to 2024, reflecting the ongoing efforts to facilitate the return of Moroccans living abroad. The minister recalled that, as part of Morocco's strategic choices, the country adopted an Open Sky policy in 2006. This decision has paid off, with more than 50 airlines, including several low-cost carriers, now operating in Morocco and connecting it to numerous European destinations.
