American Airlines wants more access to connect to African destinations after filing for a codeshare agreement with Moroccan carrier Royal Air Maroc. The agreement comes as state-owned Royal Air Maroc readies to enter American Airlines’ Oneworld alliance. American Airlines already has an interline agreement with Royal Air Maroc, allowing the two airlines to transfer baggage. “Our goal is to offer customers additional options to reach more destinations in Africa like Marrakesh, Accra and Lagos,” said American Airlines spokeswoman Nichelle Tait. Royal Air Maroc is the third-largest airline in Africa, behind Ethiopian Airlines and EgyptAir.
