Mohammed V International Airport, situated in Nouaceur Province and operated by the National Airports Office (ONDA), is the principal international gateway to Casablanca, Morocco. With a notable achievement in 2022, the airport earned its position as Morocco’s busiest and one of Africa’s top 10 busiest airports. The year 2022 witnessed approximately 7.6 million passengers, demonstrating a remarkable recovery to 74% of the pre-pandemic passenger numbers in 2019. Mohammed V International Airport serves as a pivotal hub for prominent airlines like Royal Air Maroc, Royal Air Maroc Express, and Air Arabia Maroc. Named in honor of King Mohammed V, who led Morocco to independence from French and Spanish colonial rule, this airport boasts a rich history and plays a significant role in the country’s aviation landscape.
The airport’s historical legacy can be traced back to its origins during World War II. Originally constructed by the United States in 1943, it was known as Berrechid Airfield and served as an auxiliary airfield for Casablanca’s Anfa Airport. During this time, it played a crucial role in handling diverse military traffic, serving as a stopover for flights en route to various destinations. After the war, it transitioned into a civil airport.
The 1950s witnessed the reopening of the airport, now known as Nouasseur Air Base, and its use as a staging area for B-47 Stratojet bombers during the Cold War. However, with Moroccan independence in 1956 and the ensuing political developments, the U.S. Air Force agreed to withdraw from the airport, completing this process by 1963. In the 2020s, Mohammed V Airport continued to maintain its status as a significant aviation hub, ranking as the fourth busiest airport on the African continent.
Today, Mohammed V International Airport serves as a vital gateway to Morocco, facilitating both domestic and international travel while contributing to the country’s robust aviation sector. Its growth and historical significance make it a key point of entry for travelers to this culturally rich and vibrant nation.
