Royal Air Maroc was seeking 70 co-pilots: more than 200 candidates assessed, over 80 recruited

These figures appear in a report published by AeroProfessional, the British firm responsible for this recruitment campaign. The data were therefore provided by the service provider itself, but confirmed on the page by a RAM official.

The airline was initially seeking more than 70 co-pilots already qualified on the Boeing 737. Hundreds of applications were received through an international network, confirming RAM’s openness to recruiting pilots from around the world.

More than 200 candidates underwent interviews and assessments covering their technical knowledge, decision-making and ability to comply with the airline’s operational procedures.

More than 80 co-pilots integrated

At the end of a campaign lasting just over twelve months, more than 80 co-pilots were selected, exceeding the initial target. Royal Air Maroc thus intends to have the crews needed to increase its capacity while maintaining the regularity of its flights.

The document specifies neither the nationality of the pilots recruited nor their country of residence. It only indicates that the candidates were sought internationally and already held a Boeing 737 qualification.

This campaign had raised questions in Morocco. A Moroccan pilot who had already been trained and was interviewed by Bladi.net had notably challenged RAM over its use of international recruitment while local candidates claimed they were receiving no response. The new report does not specify what share of the 80 positions went to Moroccan pilots.
