## Description

It looks like a desert outpost, yet film crews from Hollywood to Bollywood pass through it: Ouarzazate Airport (OZZ/GMMZ) serves a town whose Atlas Studios and CLA Studios form one of Africa's largest backlots, alongside Sahara tourism and the UNESCO-listed kasbah of Aït Benhaddou. It handled about 138,000 passengers in 2023; Royal Air Maroc connects it to Casablanca, supplemented by seasonal European charters. Despite the marquee names it attracts, the airport handles no meaningful air cargo and has no freight terminal; goods travel at most as belly load. Production gear generally moves by truck over the High Atlas passes. Scheduled air freight for the region is consolidated at Casablanca Mohammed V (CMN). A terminal upgrade is planned under Morocco's national "Airports 2030" programme.
