Marrakech and Mohammed V airports ranked 5th and 6th, respectively.

The Marrakech-Menara airport was ranked 5th, while Casablanca’s Mohammed V airport came in 6th place. Skytrax surveyed travellers at major airports throughout Africa to determine its ranking for the top airport destinations on the continent. 

Denver- British consultancy group Skytrax released its 2021 ‘best airports in Africa’ report, and two Moroccan airports were included in the prestigious list. 

In addition to being recognized for top-notch service, Morocco’s airports were also commended by the international aviation community for high quality health and sanitation practices earlier this year. In the midst of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the international NGO ACI awarded 15 Moroccan airports the Airport Health Accreditation.
