Although the airline predominantly catered to expatriates and vacation tourists, the plans and new strategies to bring Riya Air Maroc as a proper passenger carrier was finally met. The demand from European countries and African countries to form a convenient international route of travel is what further propelled the owners of Royal Air Maroc to take up aviation and turn it into an air transport network. Much of the connections between the two continents came from the focal point being Casablanca. The airline continued to purchase necessary flights to ensure that they could serve the passenger crowd. In fact, by the end of the decade, Royal Air March even became part of the Oneworld airline alliance.
