Marrakesh Menara Airport, Morocco

Located in Marrakesh, Morocco, Marrakesh Menara Airport is an international facility, receiving flights from Europe, Casablanca and the Arab world. It has two passenger terminals contained in one enormous structure, which has a capacity of over 4 million people. A third terminal is under construction.

It is one of the six airports in Morocco where ONDA offers its special VIP service Salon Convives de Marque. Originally, it served as a stopover for flights on the way to Casablanca Airfield or Agadir Airport in North Africa.

During the Second World War, Menara was used by the United States Army Air Forces Air Transport Command as a hub for cargo, transiting aircraft and personnel. Its iconic exterior design makes it the most beautiful airport in North Africa.
