The Royal Air Maroc plan appears to be to push connections via CMN to the rest of their African network. I didn't realize it was so extensive. They might do ok in the North and West, but will struggle against the ME3 in the East and South I feel.
But good luck to them - about time MAN had another African connection after Egyptair pulled out (or were pushed ?)
As for Arik Air from Nigeria, they seem to be in the habit of forgetting to pay their staff. Never a good sign....
