History
Air Arabia Maroc was founded as a partnership between Air Arabia, Regional Air Lines and Ithmaar Bank.[6] The low-cost carrier was officially launched on 29 April 2009,[7] and started operations on 6 May the same year,[4] with its maiden flight serving the Casablanca–London Stansted route.[8][9] Radiating from Casablanca, the first destinations served were Brussels, London, Marseille, Milan and Paris.[10] In July the same year, Jason Bitter —former CEO of SkyEurope— was appointed Air Arabia Maroc's CEO.[11][9]
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.[12]
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.[13] 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.[13]
