## Description

Ten million passengers in a single year: Marrakech Menara (IATA: RAK, ICAO: GMMX) counted 10,197,736 travellers in 2025, up around 10 percent on 2024 — while its dedicated cargo facility measures roughly 340 m². The airport lies a few kilometres south-west of Marrakech, is operated by the state agency ONDA and is served largely by low-cost carriers feeding the city's tourism. It now accounts for about 28 percent of Morocco's air traffic, second to Casablanca (32 percent) and ahead of Agadir (10 percent). Menara has virtually no standalone air-cargo function: what moves is mainly belly-hold consignments on passenger flights plus courier and express traffic, and no scheduled freighter service is confirmed. Real forwarder volumes and intercontinental cargo are handled by the main hub, Mohammed V at Casablanca (CMN), roughly three hours away via the A7 motorway, with Agadir Al Massira (AGA) as a southern option. Customs clearance is processed by Morocco's ADII. Shippers moving textiles, spare parts or samples out of the Marrakech region should realistically plan on road feeder service to Casablanca and departure from CMN.
