A Moroccan Airport Among the Best in Africa
On March 23, 2026, the Marrakech-Menara Airport received the prestigious title of "Best Regional Airport in Africa" during the World Airport Awards held in London. This remarkable accolade highlights the successful modernization strategy implemented by the National Airports Office (ONDA), which aims to enhance passenger experience significantly. The award ceremony took place on March 18, marking the first time a Moroccan airport has been honored with this award from Skytrax, a respected global aviation organization.
The recognition reflects the growing appreciation of travelers for the quality of services and hospitality offered within the terminals of the vibrant city of Marrakech. This achievement is part of the broader "Airports 2030" strategy, which ONDA has rolled out to improve operational efficiency and modernize airport facilities. This strategic plan emphasizes close coordination with security services, customs, and local authorities to ensure smooth operations.
Enhancing Operational Excellence
The ranking is based on an extensive international satisfaction survey conducted among passengers from over 100 nationalities. Between August 2025 and February 2026, more than 565 airports worldwide were evaluated, with the results determining the winners of this edition. By solidifying its position as a leading airport on the continent, Marrakech-Menara confirms its status as a major gateway to Morocco. The airport is now focusing on ensuring a seamless passenger journey to further elevate its international standing.
