## Description

Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport (TNG/GMTT) sits at the north-western tip of Morocco, roughly 40 km from Tanger Med — one of Africa's largest container ports — and that proximity shapes its freight profile. The airport's cargo terminal measures only about 529 m², so air freight here is mostly belly cargo on European passenger services, with occasional charters on top. The facility does offer customs clearance, storage, temperature-controlled handling for perishables and trucking coordination for the last mile. Regional demand is driven by the automotive cluster: Morocco builds more than 600,000 vehicles a year and Renault's largest plant outside France is located in Tangier, alongside the MedHub free zone with over 1,100 logistics and manufacturing tenants. Time-critical components and spare parts move by air; volume traffic goes by sea through Tanger Med, whose vehicle terminal is dimensioned for around 1.5 million units annually. For heavier consignments, freighter charters or dangerous goods, Casablanca Mohammed V (CMN), about 350 km south by motorway, is the more practical departure point. Shippers serving Europe frequently combine ferry crossings of the Strait of Gibraltar with road haulage from Algeciras instead of flying. Rabat-Salé (RBA) is a further Moroccan option, though its cargo relevance is likewise limited.
