Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) Ltd has announced that it has reached an agreement with Royal Air Maroc for the long-term lease of 13 new Boeing 737-8 aircraft, with deliveries scheduled to take place in 2027. The transaction builds on an earlier agreement under which DAE leased two Boeing 737-8 aircraft to the Moroccan flag carrier, which were delivered in 2025.
The agreement supports Royal Air Maroc’s ongoing fleet expansion and reflects its role in strengthening air connectivity as Morocco continues to position itself as a growing tourism and business hub within Africa. The additional aircraft are expected to play a central role in the airline’s future network and capacity development.
The Boeing 737-8 aircraft will enhance Royal Air Maroc’s ability to open new routes and increase frequencies, while improving operational efficiency and flexibility. The aircraft are intended to support rising demand and reinforce reliable connectivity between Africa, Europe, and other international markets.
DAE’s fleet portfolio currently comprises approximately 750 aircraft that are owned, managed, or committed to be owned or managed, including 237 Boeing aircraft. The lessor continues to pursue fleet growth in line with long-term market demand.
