Royal Air Maroc: seven cabins to renew, comfort still to assess

Royal Air Maroc and Boeing signed an agreement at the Marrakech Airshow on 8 October 2026 to renovate the cabins of seven Boeing 787-8 aircraft. La Vie éco and Le360 report the agreement in their articles that day.

The stated aim is to bring their comfort closer to that of newer long-haul aircraft. The reports discuss modernising the interiors: they describe a programme, not seven cabins already transformed.

Our reading: for travellers, consistency of service across aircraft matters as much as a new piece of equipment. Renovation may address that issue, but its effect will need to be assessed once the aircraft have actually been fitted out and used.

Useful follow-up will therefore focus on timing, aircraft returning to service and features actually offered to passengers. Signing alone cannot guarantee new comfort on a particular flight. Acquisition dates differ between the two articles, so we omit them.
