## Description

At 9.3 million passengers in 2024 – Africa's seventh-busiest airport – Marrakech Menara is overwhelmingly a leisure gateway, and its freight side reflects that: a dedicated cargo facility of just about 340 m². The airport lies a few kilometres south-west of Marrakech and is served by numerous low-cost carriers feeding the city's tourism. It has virtually no standalone air-cargo function; what moves is mainly belly-hold consignments on passenger flights plus courier and express traffic. Real forwarder volumes, freighter services and intercontinental cargo are handled by the main hub at Casablanca (CMN), roughly three hours away by the A7 motorway. Customs clearance is processed by Morocco's ADII. For logistics professionals, Menara is best read as a passenger airport with an honestly limited cargo role.
