This signing of a code-share agreement is a first in aviation in Africa. A prestigious American company, which claims to be the most powerful in the world, is sealing an agreement with an African company whose reputation on the continent is established, and is trying to spread its wings to all corners of the planet.

The official signing of the code-share agreement was attended by senior officials of the two companies, namely Hamid Addou, CEO of RAM and Vasu Raja, Vice President of American Airlines.
