RAM and Vivo Energy launch first Morocco-Europe flight with SAF

Royal Air Maroc operated its second flight using SAF on February 20, and for the first time to Europe, between Marrakech and Paris, marking a historic first for Paris-Orly Airport. Powered 40% by sustainable fuel, this flight significantly reduces CO2 emissions.

The two partners said in a joint statement: “This initiative highlights the commitment of both companies to promoting more sustainable aviation in Morocco,” the statement explained, noting that the launch is also with the aim of contributing to responsible tourism as the North African kingdom becomes a preferred tourist destination in Africa.’

Matthias de Larminat, managing director of Vivo Energy Morocco, added: “This first delivery represents a “major step in our commitment to decarbonising the aviation sector.”
