Moroccan airports handle 29.3 million passengers to September

Air traffic in Morocco grew by 8.74% in the first nine months of 2026, with Marrakech up almost 9.9% on the same period last year.

According to figures from Airports of Morocco, formerly ONDA, Moroccan airports handled 29,330,764 passengers between January and September 2026. That is 8.74% more than in the same period of 2025. International flights accounted for over 26.1 million travellers and domestic flights for almost 3.2 million. Aircraft movements (+9.7%) and cargo volumes (+14.3%) also rose.

Europe remains by far the largest source region, with around 21.7 million passengers and growth of 9.05%. Traffic with Africa (+13.6%) and North America (+13.2%) grew even faster, while links with the Middle and Far East eased slightly (-1.8%).

Casablanca Mohammed V is still the busiest airport with more than 9.3 million travellers, followed by Marrakech-Menara with about 8.1 million. Agadir (almost 2.8 million), Tangier (over 2.3 million) and Rabat-Sale (over 1.9 million) complete the top five.

Marrakech recorded a 9.88% rise in passengers over the first nine months. In September alone, 877,833 people travelled through the city, 7.65% more than a year earlier. Paris-Orly, Paris-Charles de Gaulle and London Gatwick were the busiest routes that month.

For owners and buyers of holiday or rental homes, air access is one of the factors that shape demand in cities such as Marrakech, Agadir and Tangier. The figures show that these connections, especially with Europe, have expanded further this year.
