Morocco’s airport authority is ramping up its modernization efforts, extending its overhaul beyond Casablanca to two more key travel hubs—Marrakech-Menara and Agadir-Al Massira. The goal? To reshape the traveler experience with smoother, smarter, and far more pleasant journeys from curb to gate.
This initiative is part of a larger national blueprint called “Airports 2030,” a strategic roadmap aiming to raise Morocco’s airport network to the level of top global standards. At the heart of the transformation are redesigned traffic flows, revamped drop-off zones, clearer signage, and streamlined terminal access tailored by airline, all designed to minimize hassle and maximize efficiency.
But these aren’t just cosmetic upgrades. The redesigns are about fundamentally rethinking how people move through the space. “We focused on making every part of the passenger journey easier—from the moment they arrive to the moment they board,” said a source from the airport authority. The result is a far more intuitive layout, better signage from the outset, and improved comfort for both travelers and those seeing them off.
With millions of international visitors passing through Marrakech and Agadir each year—two of the country’s most vital tourism gateways—upgrading these facilities wasn’t optional. It was a strategic necessity to keep pace with rising expectations for quality and service, while also ensuring the airports operate at peak performance.
This phase of development didn’t happen in a vacuum. The Office National des Aéroports (ONDA) emphasized that the project was the outcome of a wide-ranging collaboration involving several government bodies. The Interior Ministry, Immigration Office, National Police (DGSN), Royal Gendarmerie, Customs, and local authorities in both cities all played key roles in bringing the vision to life.
