Plane will buy two hundred one-time! What country is so proud?

The recent news that Maroc Air plans to buy 200 aircraft has raised some eyebrows.

Still, on closer consideration, the plan doesn't seem excessive. Morocco has the third largest airline fleet in Africa, the aircraft configuration is good, the level of service is also OK, all aspects are not too bad.

Morocco is also rich in oil resources. The potential for further development of aviation, as Saudi Arabia has done, is enormous.

Morocco is a monarchy, which means it is ruled by a king or emperor.

Air Maroc's official name is Royal Air Maroc, and along with KLM and Royal Brunei Airlines, it is the only national airline in the world to use the "royal" name.

However, KLM is no longer run by the royal family.

Royal Air Maroc currently has a fleet of 50 aircraft, mainly 737s, with a total of 30.

In addition, there are 10 ERJ regional aircraft and ATR regional aircraft. Its long-range flights are primarily operated by nine Boeing 787s, including five 787-8s and four 787-9s.

Morocco, a former French colony, now has close ties with France, with Air Maroc flying to almost every corner of the country.

In addition to flying to France, Air Maroc also focuses on destinations such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Middle East and West Africa.

While Morocco once operated flights to Beijing, they were suspended after the outbreak.

Air Maroc's other focus is North America, where it operates half of its widebody fleet, serving cities such as New York, Washington, Miami and Montreal.

Among them, New York and Washington have seven flights a week, the passenger flow is larger.

Morocco is located in the northwest corner of Africa and has one of the largest airlines in Africa.

It uses small and medium-sized aircraft to cover almost all West African destinations, stretching from Mauritania to Angola.

Air Maroc has a relatively good safety record compared to Ethiopian Airlines; Compared with EgyptAir, its service level is slightly better.

Therefore, both Western tourists and West African business people are willing to choose Maroc Air.

Morocco has rich tourism resources, although most of the land is desert and Gobi, but its cultural flavor is strong.

The country has nine World Heritage sites, mostly along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, and is one of the most popular tourist destinations for Western tourists.

The main base of Air Maroc is located in Casablanca, a place made famous by Casablanca, which is familiar even to the Chinese.

Morocco is rich in oil resources, although it is considered "oil-poor" compared with countries such as Libya.

But in recent years, a large number of oil and gas fields have been discovered off the Western Sahara region, with reserves said to be worth more than 100 billion euros.

Now many countries, including China, are conducting surveys, and the prospects are very promising.

Morocco is a Muslim country, but relatively secular.

Its close contacts with Western countries, such as Air Maroc's maintenance work and even cooperation with Israel, make it a high security.

Air Maroc's operations are also considered to be very open. Lazong said last year that it was the first in the aviation industry to have a policy that "allows passengers to resell tickets privately."

Morocco's royal family also does not limit competition, and the country long ago allowed companies such as United Arab Emirates' United Arab Airlines to enter the market, making it more competitive.

So while Maroc currently has only 40 mainline aircraft, it is not out of the question for it to bring in 200 aircraft.

Some of it could be used to expand the European market, some could be used to transit business in North America and the Middle East, some could be used to explore the East and Southeast Asian markets, and some could stay in Africa to continue to expand the market - because Africa has a large population and poor ground transportation, so there is a huge potential for aviation business.

Coupled with the cheap price of their own oil resources, if this innate advantage is not used, it is a pity.
