The Head of Government chairs the signing ceremony of a memorandum of understanding between the Government and the National Airports Authority

The Head of Government, Mr. Aziz Akhannouch, chaired on Thursday, July 24, 2025, in Rabat, the signing ceremony of a memorandum of understanding between the government and the National Airports Authority (ONDA), covering the period 2025–2030, for a total investment of 38 billion dirhams.
Under this strategically significant memorandum, airport capacity will be expanded in Marrakech, Agadir, Tangier, and Fez. Additionally, a new HUB terminal and runway will be constructed at Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca, at a cost of 25 billion dirhams. In parallel, 13 billion dirhams will be allocated for maintenance, modernization, and land acquisition, ensuring the agility and sustainability of the airport network. ONDA is committed to embodying a new generation of public service, focused on excellence, innovation, and positive impact.
The Head of Government stated that this memorandum aligns with the country's ongoing development momentum and prepares the air transport sector to meet national aspirations and the challenges ahead, thanks to the far-sighted vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him.
He emphasized that this agreement reinforces Morocco’s trajectory as a regional platform and international aviation hub. It also contributes to equipping the Kingdom with a modern and efficient infrastructure that supports economic growth, territorial integration, and social inclusion, in line with the High Royal Directives.
The agreement will also lay the groundwork for a modern, resilient, and sustainable airport model aligned with the “Airport 2030” strategy. This strategy is designed to support the growth of Royal Air Maroc, accommodate increasing air traffic, and strengthen airport infrastructure, serving as a key driver for the development of several sectors—especially tourism—as Morocco prepares to host the FIFA World Cup and looks toward the post-2030 era.
The memorandum of understanding was signed by the Minister of Tourism, Handicrafts, and Social and Solidarity Economy; the Minister of Transport and Logistics; the Minister Delegate in charge of the Budget; the Director General of the National Agency for Strategic Management of State Holdings; and the Director General of the National Airports Authority.
