  • At the Airport
    For a smooth journey, please arrive at least 3 hours before your flight.
    If you are departing from Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca, Morocco, please go to the PHMR counter at Terminal 1.

    Depending on the itinerary, they may also be allowed in the cabin.

    Required Documentation
    For the transport of service dogs accompanying visually or hearing-impaired passengers, a medical certificate confirming the passenger's disability is required.

    Flights to/from the United States
    If you are traveling with a service dog on flights to or from the United States, you must provide duly completed copies of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Service Animal Attestation Forms.
    Please consult and complete these forms:

Specific assistance for passengers with invisible disabilities (Cognitive, Psychic, or Mental)

  • Organization and Booking
    To benefit from the most appropriate assistance, it is imperative that you inform us of your specific needs when booking your ticket, and no later than 48 hours before departure.
    Contact our services to organize:
    - The type of assistance you require.
    - The booking of adapted meals (gluten-free, vegetarian, etc.).
    DPNA Code: If this code appears on your ticket, it is simply a standard reference used by the airline industry to communicate your specific needs to all our teams (airport, onboard) and the authorities.

  • Traveling Alone or Accompanied: The Safety Imperative
    The majority of people with cognitive disabilities can travel alone, provided they are capable of understanding and applying safety instructions.
    Important Warnings:
    Risks: Large airports involve complex and long routes (security checks, police, customs). In case of disorientation, flight disruptions (turbulence), or emergencies, the ability to follow instructions must be guaranteed.
    Important Warnings:
    Risks: Large airports involve complex and long routes (security checks, police, customs). In case of disorientation, flight disruptions (turbulence), or emergencies, the ability to follow instructions must be guaranteed.
    Personal Assistance: Our onboard assistance does not include help with eating, taking medication, or assistance in the lavatories.

  • Traveling Alone or Accompanied: The Safety Imperative
    Although Royal Air Maroc is committed to providing optimal assistance, we insist on the need to realistically assess the traveler's autonomy in the face of the unpredictable nature and requirements of air travel. We strongly recommend that the person travels accompanied if they fall into one of the following situations: 1- Failure to Follow Safety Instructions: The person is unable to understand, retain, or follow essential safety instructions communicated by the crew (for example, during an emergency evacuation or severe turbulence). 2- Risk of Disorientation or Memory Loss: The disability leads to significant memory or orientation loss (for example, related to Alzheimer's disease). The risk of failing to apply instructions is then real. Example: Disembarking from the aircraft without waiting for the planned assistance can lead to serious consequences, such as the person becoming lost in the terminal or major difficulty in locating them. Personal accompaniment is the safest solution to guarantee the traveler's peace of mind and their safety throughout their journey.

  • Assistance at the Airport and Onboard
    At the Airport
    Assistance is provided for travelers traveling alone. This allows you to:
    - Move around the airport.
    - Proceed with check-in and baggage drop-off.
    - Be directed to formalities (police, customs, security).
    - Get to the boarding gate and settle onboard.

    Priority Boarding: You can request to board first to have more time to settle in comfortably. Transfer: The service is also available in case of a connection.

    Onboard
    Our cabin crew is specially trained to identify and assist passengers with cognitive or sensory needs, particularly in emergency situations.
    Comfort: Eye masks and the option to use noise-reducing headphones (depending on the travel class). Ambient cabin lighting can be dimmed on long-haul flights.
    Entertainment: Our system offers movies and series with CC.

Wheelchair assistance

  • Reserva de sillas de ruedas
    Para garantizar una asistencia fluida desde el momento de la facturación hasta su asiento, le rogamos que solicite asistencia al menos 48 horas antes de la salida.
    Hay tres niveles de asistencia disponibles en función de sus necesidades:

    - WCHR (Rampa): Puede caminar dentro de la cabina y subir/bajar escaleras de forma independiente.
    - WCHS (Escaleras): Puede caminar dentro de la cabina, pero no puede subir o bajar escaleras.
    - WCHC (Cabina): Requiere asistencia total para todos los desplazamientos.

  • Book special assistance
    If you need help getting around the airport or on board the aircraft, we are here to assist you. We can arrange a wheelchair at all served airports, or assist you if you are travelling with your own wheelchair or mobility aid.
    To ensure appropriate assistance before, during or after your flight, we recommend informing us at the time of booking, or no later than 48 hours before departure.

  • Assistance at the airport
    For a smooth journey, please arrive at least 3 hours before your flight.
    If you are departing from Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca, Morocco, please go to the PHMR counter in Terminal 1.
    We can accompany you from check-in to boarding and, upon arrival, from the aircraft to your pick-up point.

  • Traveling with a Wheelchair or Mobility Aid
    Depending on their dimensions and weight, mobility aids may be checked into the hold.
    Royal Air Maroc allows you to carry up to two mobility aids free of charge. They must be properly packaged to ensure protection during transport. For more information, please see below the dimensions and specifications of accepted wheelchairs and the conditions of carriage.

  • Quota and type of assistance
    To ensure flight safety, quotas apply depending on the type of assistance required for passengers with reduced mobility (PRM):
    WCHR: No limit on the number of passengers.
    WCHS & WCHC: The total number is subject to a restriction. This total is calculated by adding the number of WCHC passengers and half the number of WCHS passengers. This sum is limited depending on the aircraft type:
    B787: 18 ;B767: 18 ;B73G: 7 ;B738 + MAX: 9 ;E190: 5;ATR: 4

  • Electric wheelchairs and powered mobility aid
    The carriage of certain wheelchairs fitted with batteries is subject to specific safety rules.
    You must therefore inform us, before your flight, of the type of battery used (including whether it is dry, wet, lithium, etc.), its power (in Watt-hours), as well as the wheelchair’s dimensions and weight.

Requisitos para sillas de ruedas

  • Con batería derramable / batería seca
    La batería puede permanecer fijada a la silla de ruedas o al dispositivo de movilidad, pero en este caso debe estar asegurada firmemente.
    No es necesario desconectar los bornes de la batería si ya están colocados en un contenedor de batería o aislados para evitar cualquier cortocircuito.

  • Con batería no derramable / batería húmeda
    La batería puede permanecer fijada a la silla de ruedas / dispositivo de movilidad o extraerse cuando no se pueda garantizar la posición vertical de la silla durante todo el proceso.

  • Batería no derramable no desmontada
    When the battery is not removed, it must be securely attached to the wheelchair or the mobility device. The terminals must be disconnected and covered with an adhesive tape to avoid any short-circuit.

  • When separated from the chair, the wet battery must be placed in a vertical position in a solid, rigid and fluid-tight battery packaging. Inside, the battery must be protected from any short circuit and surrounded by a sufficiently absorbent material to soak up all the liquid it contains.

  • They should be removed in all cases and kept protected in the cabin under your care.

  • Liquid batteries can only be transported if they are used to power a wheelchair. If your mobility aid uses a liquid battery, we may be forced to remove it for safety reasons during transportation. To simplify our task, do not hesitate to bring the manufacturer's instructions with you to the airport.
