Record traffic in 2024 and start of a new vision
Air traffic recorded a record in 2024, reaching 32.7 million passengers, 21% compared to the performance of 2023. This strong increase was carried out thanks in particular to the launch of around twenty new international links connecting Casablanca, Tanger, Tétouan and Marrakech to the main European cities, as well as the strengthening of domestic lines.
ONDA also experienced several major projects of transformation and achievements during the past year, testifying to the dynamics of transformation initiated by ONDA. The “Aéroports 2030” strategy was thus initiated in December 2024 through the presentation of its main lines to executives and employees of the Office.
Strategic appointments were also made in 2024, including the installation of new directors at the Decasablanca Mohammed V airports, Nador El Aroui, Al Hoceima Cherif Al Idrissi, Tétouan Sania R’Mel and Laâyoune Hassan 1er.
On the infrastructure side, the ONDA has started a real site for improving its airport platforms targeting in particular Casablanca Mohammed V airport through the commissioning of a new transit zone.
ONDA also launched the construction of a new terminal in Casablanca. A real technical feat, it will have a capacity of 20 million passengers per year and should see the light of day in 2029.
The new terminal at Rabat airport will be delivered before the end of the year. This project, which aims to provide the capital of the kingdom, with a new modern and reference airport infrastructure, equipped with latest generation, will allow an additional capacity of 4 million passengers per year.
A dynamic that will continue in 2025
Regarding the 2025 perspectives, traffic will have to continue its dynamics with an increase of 15% to 37.6 million passengers. The current year will thus be resolutely turned towards the implementation of the “Airports 2030” strategy, the strengthening of investment, the improvement of the customer experience and the preparation of the 2030 Football World Cup. The 2025 budget is thus in a logic of sustained growth, through investments of 13.2 billion dirhams. This envelope will be devoted mainly to the extension of airports in host cities of the 2030 World Cup, the construction of the new terminal at Casablanca Mohammed V airport, the extension of the airports in Tangier, Agadir, Fès and Marrakech and the finalization of the new terminals in Rabat-Salé and Tétouan Saniat R’Mel.
