Rabat Salé Airport, also known as Salé Airport, plays a pivotal role in connecting the city of Salé and the capital city of Morocco, Rabat, to the world. Located approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles) east-northeast of Rabat, this airport serves as a joint-use facility for both civilian and military purposes. It also hosts the First Air Base of the Royal Moroccan Air Force, showcasing its significance in Morocco’s aviation landscape.
The airport has a rich history dating back to World War II, where it served as a military airfield for both the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces. After the war, it continued to play a crucial role as a stopover and landing field for Air Transport Command aircraft on the Casablanca-Algiers transport route. During the early years of the Cold War, it was utilized by the United States Air Force’s Strategic Air Command. The airport’s historical importance is intertwined with its development into a modern transportation hub.
In 2012, Rabat Salé Airport inaugurated the new Terminal 1 building, marking a significant upgrade. With a capacity of 3.5 million passengers per year, this expansion has more than doubled the capacity of the old terminal. The airport offers essential facilities such as car rental agencies, banks, ATMs, café-bars, duty-free shops, and more to enhance the travel experience. Moreover, ongoing expansion works initiated in 2018 aim to further boost the airport’s capacity, with plans to accommodate up to 4 million passengers. Rabat Salé Airport’s continuous growth reflects its vital role in facilitating air travel to and from the capital region of Morocco.
