Morocco’s airports welcomed more than 23.9 million passengers in the first eight months of 2025, marking an 11.7 percent increase compared with the same period last year, the Directorate of Studies and Financial Forecasts said Friday.

The rise was driven by an 11.2 percent increase in international air traffic and a 15.8 percent jump in domestic flights, the directorate noted in its latest economic report.

Traffic grew notably with Europe (+10.6%), the Middle East and Far East (+15.5%), North and South America (+23.2%), Africa (+9.7%) and Maghreb countries (+10%).

Air cargo volumes rose by 8.6 percent over the same period, while national port activity recorded an 11.6 percent increase by the end of June, reaching 130 million tons.

Passenger traffic through Moroccan ports climbed 9.5 percent to 1.6 million travelers, and the national rail network carried 27 million passengers, up 3 percent year-on-year.
