## Description

Named after the medieval geographer Al-Idrissi, Cherif Al Idrissi Airport (AHU/GMTA) is the air access point for the Rif coast on Morocco's Mediterranean shore. Its traffic is overwhelmingly seasonal and diaspora-driven, with Royal Air Maroc and European holiday carriers linking Al Hoceima to Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris; there is no meaningful freight throughput or cargo terminal. Air cargo for the area is handled through Tangier or the Casablanca Mohammed V hub (CMN). The setting between the Rif mountains and the sea is the airport's real calling card.
