Che long -term partnership between Royal Air Maroc and The new Terminal One is part of the airline’s ambitious strategy aimed at strengthening transatlantic links between Africa and the Americas, while offering improved customer experience via one of its major international entry doors, both parties said in a joint press release.
Indeed, The New Terminal One represents a key component of the JFK airport transformation project, led by the airport authority in New York and New Jersey. With an investment of $ 19 billion, this international project aims to make JFK airport a world gateway.
The project also provides for the creation of two new terminals, the modernization and extension of two existing terminals, a new land transport center and a fully redesigned and simplified road network.
“We are delighted to welcome Royal Air Maroc to The New Terminal One. This step marks the start of a new exciting chapter for the company in New York. Guided by a common commitment to offer an exceptional customer experience, we are delighted with a solid and sustainable partnership that will support the ambitions of the company’s growth in the United States”, underlined Jennifer Sure, President and CEO of “The New Terminal One” in JFK, quoted in the press release.
For his part, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Royal Air Maroc, Hamid Addou, said: “This partnership with The New Terminal One represents a major advance for Royal Air Maroc and consolidates its strategic presence in New York, a key gateway to our transatlantic operations. We are proud to integrate this innovative terminal, which will offer our customers an unequaled and aligned travel experience on our standards of excellence. In addition, this project is fully in our development plan, which aims to position Royal global air carrier. ”
-Currently, Royal Air Morocco is ensuring its flights to Casablanca from Terminal 1 existing at JFK airport at the rate of two frequencies per day, aboard Boeing 787 aircraft. From June 2026, the airline will be relocated to the new terminal 1, thus offering a renewed travel experience to its customers going to the emblematic city of New York.
In collaboration with Royal Air Maroc, The New Terminal One will offer a fluid customer route, from arrival at airport until boarding, thanks to advanced technology, modern design and excellent service.
In addition, premium shopping and restoration offers will enhance each stage of the experience for Royal Air Maroc customers at the start of one of the United States strategic hubs.
Royal Air Maroc is the first member of the Oneworld Alliance to choose the new Terminal 1 and joins a growing community of leading airlines that will operate from this terminal like Air France, KLM, Etihad, Lot Polish Airlines, Korean Air, Eva Air, Air Serbia, SAS, Neos, Philippine Airlines, Turkish Airlines, China.
