Morocco’s airports recorded a commercial traffic volume of 12,336,962 passengers by the end of April 2026, up 9.7% compared to the same period a year earlier, according to the National Airports Office (ONDA).

Mohammed V Airport, which accounts for more than 30% of total traffic, welcomed 3,756,740 passengers, marking a 12.6% increase compared to the end of April 2025, ONDA said.
