## Description

Royal Air Maroc bases part of its operation at Rabat-Salé, the airport serving Morocco's capital, alongside Air France and Nouvelair Tunisie. The name reflects the twin cities of Rabat and Salé on either side of the Bou Regreg river. Freight moves through a terminal of about 1,360 m², where RAM Cargo runs a cold-storage facility able to take urgent and temperature-controlled consignments. Volumes stay modest: the country's real freight hub is Casablanca (CMN), only some 30 minutes away by road, where larger quantities are sensibly consolidated. Ground handling is provided by Swissport among others, and customs clearance by Morocco's ADII. The A1 and A5 motorways tie Rabat-Salé to Casablanca and the north, reinforcing its role as a capital-side feeder for light and time-critical air cargo.
