The story
Air Arabia Maroc was founded as a partnership between Air Arabia, Regional Air Lines and Ithmaar Bank. The low-cost carrier was officially launched on 29 April 2009, and started operations on 6 May the same year, with its maiden flight serving the Casablanca–London Stansted route. Radiating from Casablanca, the first destinations served were Brussels, London, Marseille, Milan and Paris. In July the same year, Jason Bitter —former CEO of SkyEurope— was appointed Air Arabia Maroc's CEO.
In October 2019, Air Arabia Maroc unveiled plans to shut down it base at Agadir–Al Massira Airport and close several routes in the same month.
In September 2024, following allegations of non-compliance in the operations and airworthiness domains, EASA conducted an on-site technical assessment at the facilities of Air Arabia Maroc. The results of the audit, released publicly in October 2024, revealed critical and serious safety issues, in particular with regard to crew duty time limitations and aircraft airworthiness.
