During a press trip to the North African Arab country organized at the airline\u2019s invitation, the company also announced it will expand its Casablanca\u2013S\u00e3o Paulo route from four to five weekly flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Royal Air Maroc operated flights to RioGale\u00e3o International Airport in Rio de Janeiro until the early 1990s, when the route was discontinued. In 2013, the company resumed operations in Brazil, this time flying from Casablanca to S\u00e3o Paulo, a route that was again suspended in 2020 due to the covid-19 pandemic. Flights resumed in 2024 with three weekly frequencies, expanding to four in December 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Royal Air Maroc\u2019s regional director for Latin America, Othman Baba, had already told ANBA during the WTM Latin America trade fair in April that the company would expand its operations in Brazil and intended to launch flights to Rio de Janeiro. To do so, however, Royal Air Maroc first needed to increase the number of flights to S\u00e3o Paulo, since the city is the \u201cheart\u201d of its operations in the country, the executive said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flights to Brazil are operated with the Boeing 787, one of the most modern aircraft currently in service. The average occupancy rate, the executive said at the time, is 80%, and 90% of passengers are leisure travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read also<\/em>:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/royal-air-maroc-to-add-a-fifth-flight-to-sao-paulo\/\">Royal Air Maroc to add a fifth flight to S\u00e3o Paulo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-403802\">\u00a9Henrique Campos\/Hans Lucas via AFP<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Route between Casablanca and Rio de Janeiro will begin operating in 2027.
