The 2026 summer season confirms the shift in the scale of air traffic for Airports of Morocco (formerly the National Airports Office – ONDA), with historic traffic levels recorded at several of the Kingdom's airports.
These summer peaks are part of a growth trajectory that is now structural, Airports of Morocco stated in a press release, noting that at Casablanca Mohammed V, one of the highlights of this season was recorded during the first weekend of August with a historic peak of 46,439 passengers welcomed in 24 hours.
This intensification of activity is evident across the network. Marrakech-Menara crossed the threshold of 30,000 passengers in a single day, while Rabat-Salé recorded 9,226 passengers welcomed in one day, Agadir-Al Massira also welcomed 11,973 passengers on a peak day, and Tangier-Ibn Battouta saw 13,309 passengers.
The most significant increases were observed in Dakhla and Tetouan, with respective rises of 45.2% and 36.14% during their peak days.
These summer peaks are part of a now-structural growth trajectory. After crossing the record threshold of 36.3 million passengers in 2025, national air traffic continues to accelerate, confirming the growing role of airports in the Kingdom's dynamic of openness and appeal.
This capacity to absorb growing volumes while maintaining operational quality constitutes one of the major pillars of the transformation undertaken as part of the "Airports 2030" strategy.
Capacity expansion, infrastructure modernization, the digitalization of services, and the optimization of passenger journeys are thus accompanying changing travel habits and preparing the network for the next stages of its growth.
This performance also relies on the collective mobilization of the entire airport ecosystem. Alongside Airports of Morocco, the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), the Customs and Excise Administration (ADII), the Royal Gendarmerie, as well as the airline Royal Air Maroc (RAM) are combining their expertise and resources to support these traffic peaks.
"Airports of Morocco is thus committing to a transformation matching this new scale of traffic, with the ambition of sustainably strengthening the network's capacities, accelerating air connectivity, and making airport performance a determining factor in Morocco's international attractiveness," the press release concludes.
