Marrakech airport anticipates a 22% increase in traffic this week compared to the week of February 7-13, 2022, which corresponded to the official reopening of air borders, with more than 350 weekly rotations scheduled for the current week.

The Marrakech-Menara Airport is experiencing an increase in traffic following a slow first week when tourists arrived in small groups with 17,000 travelers and an average of 18 flights per day.

According to the forecast flight program, international flights will increase by 22% during the week of February 14-20 compared to the previous week. Statistics from the Moroccan Airports Authority (ONDA) show 356 flights are planned for the current week, compared to 291 flights the week before.

“Flight rotations will increase from 37 rotations in the first 3 days of the week, compared to 28 rotations the same period last week, to 61 rotations on average daily beginning Thursday, against 51 rotations for the same period last week, or a gain of more than 10 rotations per day throughout the week,” specifies Zoubir Bouhout, a Moroccan expert in tourism.

It should be noted that the airport operates on a security system that streamlines traveler journeys within the airport. According to the ONDA, the entire staff has been mobilized to ensure that the health protocol is followed and that tourists will have a smooth journey, reports local media.
