This recognition is a testament to the evolving passenger experiences and operational efficiencies being prioritized by ONDA, which focuses on enhancing infrastructure and service quality across the national airport network. The improvement in passenger satisfaction ratings for Marrakech Menara, as reflected in the global survey conducted by Skytrax, underscores the tangible impacts of the initiatives implemented by ONDA and its partners, including the Ministry of Interior, the Directorate General of National Security, the Royal Gendarmerie, the Customs and Indirect Tax Administration, local authorities in Marrakech, and the Ministry of Transport and Logistics.
With this prestigious award, Marrakech Menara Airport solidifies its position among the continent's top-performing airports and further establishes itself as a major gateway to Morocco.
