Marrakech-Menara Airport Receives Prestigious Recognition
Marrakech-Menara Airport in Morocco has achieved a remarkable accolade, being named the **Best Regional Airport in Africa** at the World Airport Awards 2026, organized by Skytrax. This honor marks the first time the Moroccan airport has received such recognition, highlighting significant advancements within the country's airport system. The award aligns with Morocco's ambitious Aéroports 2030 strategy, which aims to modernize local infrastructure and enhance the overall passenger experience.
In the global rankings for 2026, Asian and Middle Eastern hubs continue to dominate, with Doha International Airport taking the top spot, followed closely by Singapore and Seoul. Within Africa, the leading airports are Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg, positioning Marrakech as a key player in the continent's aviation landscape.
Experts attribute these improvements in Marrakech’s airport operations to coordinated efforts among various institutional stakeholders, including the Ministry of Interior, security forces, customs administration, and local authorities, all working collaboratively to boost the competitiveness of the national airport sector.
