Royal Air Maroc Cargo has marked its “35 years of uninterrupted service at Brussels Airport, underscoring a long-standing partnership that serves as a pillar of the airline’s European operations and a vital connection between Morocco, Africa, and Europe.”
According to the Cargo carrier, “Since the inaugural cargo flight to Brussels in 1990, the carrier has elevated Brussels to one of its most strategic gateways, fueling the development of trade flows across continents.”
Over the years, Royal Air Maroc Cargo says it has “continuously invested in its Brussels operations, notably doubling its main-deck capacity with the addition of a B767 freighter.”
The cargo carrier says it “now operates three weekly flights between Casablanca (CMN) and Brussels (BRU), transporting over 4,300 tons of cargo annually and maintaining an average load factor of 85% in 2025. Benefiting from Brussels Airport’s strategic location and strong connectivity within Europe, the station serves as a key consolidation point for cargo flows originating from across the continent.”
Royal Air Maroc Cargo says “the top three commodities shipped from Brussels, industrial machinery and equipment, automotive spare parts, and pharmaceutical and healthcare products, showcase Belgium’s, and more generally Europe’s industrial strengths and Morocco’s expanding role as a logistics gateway for Africa. In addition to Casablanca, shipments from Brussels efficiently connect to Dakar, Ouagadougou and Bamako, offering direct access to key African markets.”
For customers in both Europe and Africa, Royal Air Maroc says: “the stability of the Casablanca–Brussels route ensures reliable service and competitive transit times. Brussels is Royal Air Maroc Cargo’s preferred European hub for Africa-bound traffic, with 74% of shipments from BRU destined for the continent.”
Yassine Berrada, Vice-President Cargo at Royal Air Maroc said: “Thirty-five years at Brussels Airport is a testimony to the trust built with our customers, partners, and the Belgian logistics community. This route is essential to our network, and we remain fully committed to delivering the reliability, efficiency, and customer care that our partners expect.”
