Royal Air Maroc, China Southern Forge Air Corridor Linking Continents

Royal Air Maroc and China Southern Airlines have signed a memorandum of understanding to deepen cooperation and establish a direct “air corridor” between China and Africa. The partnership aims to simplify travel, bypassing traditional connections through Europe or the Middle East. It includes a code-sharing agreement, cargo and passenger resource coordination, and third-party service collaboration. This initiative is set to enhance travel options across both continents, improve cargo logistics, and encourage tourism—especially to Morocco. Executives from both airlines say the agreement marks a strategic move to strengthen economic and cultural ties between China and Africa through more efficient air connectivity.
