Morocco’s government council on Thursday reviewed an air services agreement signed with Rwanda, marking a procedural step toward the agreement’s formal ratification rather than the announcement of a new deal. The agreement, signed in Montreal on September 25, 2025, establishes a framework for cooperation in international air transport between Rabat and Kigali. Moroccan authorities also framed the agreement as part of Rabat’s broader African aviation strategy, which seeks to position the country as a regional hub connecting Africa with global markets and supporting continental integration. Kayouh previously noted that the agreement aligns with Morocco’s policy of expanding air connectivity with African countries, citing the role of Royal Air Maroc, which currently serves nearly 27 African destinations with around 600 weekly flights. Thursday’s government council discussion focused on the agreement’s institutional approval, a necessary step before it can enter into force.
