THE COMPAGNIE NATIONALE ROYAL AIR MAROC (RAM) WAS ELECTED BEST AIRLINE COMPANY IN AFRICA BY THE 18TH EDITION OF THE “GT TESTED READER SURVEY” OF THE GLOBAL TRAVELER MAGAZINE.
The award was presented to the national carrier last Tuesday in Los Angeles, during the annual trophy ceremony organized by Global Traveler, said RAM in a statement.
Royal Air Maroc was also ranked, within the framework of this survey, fourth best airline in the MENA zone (Middle East and North Africa), behind Etihad Airways, Emirates and Qatar Airways.
The GT Tested Reader Survey is a benchmark survey for the airline industry and premium tourism. It is organized by Global Traveler, an international monthly magazine distributed primarily to frequent business and leisure travelers. Some 20,000 magazine subscribers took part in the votes for the 18th edition of the “GT Tested Reader Survey”.
“We are happy and honored to receive this prestigious award as well as to be recognized as the best airline in Africa,” said Hamid Addou, Chairman and CEO of RAM, quoted in the statement.
And to continue: “This recognition emanates from the direct testimony of our customers, everywhere in the world. It crowns the daily efforts of our 4,000 employees to offer the highest standards of excellence in service, safety and comfort, at all levels of the customer experience “.
“This Global Traveler Award motivates us above all to continue to move forward and improve, despite the difficult times our industry is going through,” said Mr. Addou.
This distinction confirms a series of awards recently obtained by RAM. In 2019, the national airline was elected by Skytrax, for the 6th consecutive year, best regional airline in Africa. It also maintained its 4-star Skytrax label. Highly coveted by airlines, the Skytrax award is a world benchmark in the air transport sector.
In addition, the 18th edition of the “GT Tested Reader Survey” also awarded oneworld, of which RAM has been a member since 2020, the title of best global airline alliance for the 12th consecutive year.
This distinction reinforces the leadership of this Alliance. Last September, it was named the world’s best airline alliance by Skytrax. In November, it also won the Best Airline Alliance award at Business Traveler USA’s Best in Business Travel Awards.
