Royal Air Maroc officially will join the Oneworld alliance on April 1. After 15 months of integration work since the initial announcement, the carrier and alliance will begin offering reciprocal benefits such as loyalty programs and lounge access. Royal Air Maroc currently codeshares with five Oneworld members, including American Airlines, and will add more partnerships in the coming months, according to the alliance. The carrier is the first full new member to join Oneworld since 2014 and is the alliance's first member based on the African continent.
