DOHA: Qatar Airways (QA) and Royal Air Maroc will strengthen business partnership with the launch of new code-share routes across the latter's West African network and on both airlines' routes between Qatar and Morocco from today.
The new agreement comes shortly after Akbar Al Baker, Chief Executive, QA Group and Driss Benhima, Chairman and CEO, Royal Air Maroc, signed a business agreement at the recent Arabian Travel Market in Dubai, in the presence of international press and travel trade partners.
The joint business deal benefits passengers by providing enhanced links between Qatar and Morocco, greater choice of flights and improved frequent flyer benefits.

Passengers to Casablanca on QA will be able to connect onto West African cities of Cotonou, Ouagadougou, Praia, Brazzaville, Pointe Noire, Abidjan, Libreville, Banjul, Conakry, Bissau, Monrovia, Bamako, Niamey, Lagos, Nouakchott, Freetown and Lomé.
