The Kingdom’s airports handled 29,330,764 passengers over the first nine months of 2026, an increase of 8.74% on the same period last year, according to the National Airports Office (ONDA), which released its commercial air traffic statistics for September.<\/p>\n
International flights accounted for the bulk of that total, carrying 26,150,513 passengers, up 8.73%. Domestic traffic grew slightly faster, rising 8.88% to 3,180,251 travellers.<\/p>\n
In September alone, Morocco’s airports welcomed 3,289,181 passengers, ONDA said.<\/p>\n
Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca remained the busiest hub, with 9,355,121 passengers by the end of September. Marrakech-Menara came second with 8,113,680, ahead of Agadir-Al Massira at 2,790,578.<\/p>\n
Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport recorded 2,327,329 passengers, while Rabat-Sale Airport handled 1,902,312.<\/p>\n
ONDA attributed the international performance mainly to the European market, which remains the largest source of passengers. It accounted for 21,665,628 travellers, up 9.05% year on year.<\/p>\n
Other markets also posted strong gains. Traffic with South America jumped 33.48% to 81,185 passengers, North America rose 13.23% to 771,932, and Africa grew 13.62% to 1,581,996. Flights linked to Maghreb countries increased 8.75%, reaching 396,080 passengers.<\/p>\n
