Three countries have the word "Royal" in their flag-carrying airline's name. They include Royal Brunei Airlines, Royal Jordanian, and Royal Air Maroc.
Historically, the term was used to refer to airlines owned by the government of their home country and associated with the national identity of that country. Such an airline may also be known as a national airline or a national carrier, although this can have different legal meanings in some countries.

To supplement, I note that KLM of the Netherlands is derived from Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij, which translates to Royal Dutch Airlines, a name in English they use with KLM. link https://www.klm.ca/information/corporate/history
