Royal Air Maroc Cargo marks 35 years of uninterrupted service at Brussels Airport, underscoring a long-standing partnership between Morocco, Africa, and Europe. Since the inaugural cargo flight to Brussels in 1990, the carrier has elevated Brussels to one of its most strategic gateways, fueling the development of trade flows across continents. 

Over the years, Royal Air Maroc Cargo has continuously invested in its Brussels operations, notably doubling its main-deck capacity with the addition of a B767 freighter. The airline now operates three weekly flights between Casablanca (CMN) and Brussels (BRU), transporting over 4,300 tons of cargo annually and maintaining an average load factor of 85% in 2025. Benefiting from Brussels Airport’s strategic location and strong connectivity within Europe, the station serves as a key consolidation point for cargo flows originating from across the continent. The top three commodities shipped from Brussels, industrial machinery and equipment, automotive spare parts, and pharmaceutical and healthcare products, showcase Belgium's, and more generally Europe’s industrial strengths and Morocco’s expanding role as a logistics gateway for Africa. In addition to Casablanca, shipments from Brussels efficiently connect to Dakar, Ouagadougou and Bamako, offering direct access to key African markets.

“Thirty-five years at Brussels Airport is a testimony to the trust built with our customers, partners, and the Belgian logistics community,” said Yassine Berrada, Vice-President Cargo at Royal Air Maroc. “This route is essential to our network, and we remain fully committed to delivering the reliability, efficiency, and customer care that our partners expect. Together with Brussels Airport, we will continue connecting Africa to its principal European market for many years to come.”
