Morocco has launched a MAD 28 billion program s part of its “Airports 2030” vision, Moroccan Transport and Logistics Minister Abdessamad Kayouh announced on Monday at Lower House's question time.
Key projects include a new international airport in Casablanca, in application of the High Royal Guidelines, which is connected to the high-speed rail network, allowing travel from to Marrakech in 50 minutes and to Tangier in 30 minutes, according to the minister. The airport aims to serve long-haul flights and support Morocco's flagship air (RAM)'s fleet expansion from 50 to 100 aircraft by 2030.
Other airport expansions include Rabat-Salé (to 4 million passengers), Fez (5 million), and Sania Ramel (2 million). Overall capacity is set to grow from 34 million passengers in 2024 to 80 million by 2030, Kayouh said.
The plan also involves a new modern terminal at Mohammed V Airport (40M capacity), upgrades in World Cup 2030 host cities, namely Casablanca, Rabat Tangier and Marrakech, as well as enhancements in traveler experience—such as biometric gates, reduced wait times, and improved access—thanks to coordination with national authorities like the General Directorate for National Security (DGSN), the Gendarmerie Royale and the Customs Administration, the minister added.
