Exceptional trips to support the "Atlas Lions"
On the occasion of the national team's participation in the largest football event in the world, Royal Air Maroc is launching an exceptional travel program to transport fans wishing to support the "Atlas Lions" during their matches in the United States of America.
The national company stated that "in this context, exceptional direct flights will be scheduled during the first round, from June 13 to June 24, 2026, to the cities hosting the Atlas Lions' matches, which are New York, Boston, and Atlanta; marking a historical first for Royal Air Maroc, which has never operated flights to Atlanta located in the southeastern United States."
The same source added that a total of 32 additional flights will be scheduled with a capacity exceeding 8,800 seats, in order to meet the high demand from fans.
The statement quoted Hamid Ado, the CEO of Royal Air Maroc, saying: "We are pleased to once again accompany the exceptional adventure of the Atlas Lions during this global event. After the success of the exceptional programs in Russia in 2018 and then Qatar in 2022, Royal Air Maroc is mobilizing again to enable Moroccan fans to follow this grand football celebration alongside their national team."
He continued: "We will significantly enhance our offerings to the cities hosting the Atlas Lions' matches by scheduling special flights on large long-range aircraft. In line with its mission as a national company, Royal Air Maroc will deploy all necessary technical, human, and operational resources to promote Morocco and raise the national colors high. Today, more than ever, we all support the Atlas Lions."

This program will enhance the two regular daily flights that the national company operates throughout the World Cup period, increasing the total capacity to about 7,500 fans to the New York destination.
The national company will also launch 12 exceptional direct flights to Boston, scheduled for June 17, 18, and 19, 2026, for outbound flights, and June 20, 21, and 22, 2026, for return flights, enabling the transport of more than 3,300 Moroccan fans.
