Morocco’s airports welcomed 3.13 million passengers in January 2026, setting a new record for the month, according to the National Airports Office, The Traveler reported.
Traffic climbed nearly 15% from January 2025. Europe accounted for the largest share, with flights to France, Spain, the U.K., Italy, and Germany up 13%. Passenger numbers from the Americas jumped more than 30%, driven by growing tourism and business demand.
Casablanca Mohammed V led long-haul traffic, while Marrakech Menara surpassed 10 million annual passengers, boosted by new winter routes from European cities. Tangier Ibn Battouta posted a nearly 20% increase, reflecting northern tourism and regional industrial activity.
Officials attribute the surge to Morocco’s Airports 2030 strategy, which invests in terminals, runways, and digital systems to improve passenger flow and comfort. Analysts note the wider geographic spread of travelers reduces reliance on a single market and strengthens resilience against global shocks.
The January milestone signals continued growth in Morocco’s tourism sector and positions its airports as key hubs connecting Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East. Expansion plans and infrastructure upgrades aim to meet rising demand ahead of Morocco’s 2030 FIFA World Cup co-hosting.
