Casablanca Airport

Mohammed V Airport (CMN / GMMN)

Around 30 km southeast of Casablanca, in Nouaceur Province, Mohammed V (CMN / GMMN) is Morocco's main airport and one of the ten busiest in Africa. Open 24/7, its two parallel runways of 3,720 m accommodate every type of aircraft, up to the largest wide-bodies, from business jets to ultra-long-range jets arriving non-stop.

The hub of the Kingdom's commercial and business aviation, it is the natural gateway to the economic capital and, more broadly, to Morocco and West Africa.

History and modernisation of Mohammed V

Built by the United States in 1943, in the wake of Operation Torch, the field became Nouasseur Air Base, used by the US Strategic Air Command during the Cold War. Converted into a civil airport, it took the name of King Mohammed V.

The airport now has three terminals, the most recent of which offers a capacity of fourteen million passengers. These modern facilities provide an international standard of reception, with services dedicated to business aviation.

A private arrival at the heart of business

Mohammed V has facilities dedicated to private flights: personalised reception, streamlined customs and immigration, and direct access to the aircraft. Our teams coordinate ground handling and your transfer to the business district, the port, or Rabat — the administrative capital, less than an hour away by road.

Practical information and access

Allow 30 to 40 minutes between the airport and central Casablanca depending on traffic; a rail link also connects the airport to Casa-Voyageurs station. Rabat is less than an hour away by road.

Our teams arrange your reception, ground handling and private transfer for a seamless journey. Slot booking and the coordination of formalities are built into our service.

Casablanca, an economic and financial capital

Casablanca concentrates the bulk of the Kingdom's economic activity: headquarters of Moroccan and international groups, the stock exchange, and the Casablanca Finance City hub, now one of the continent's leading financial centres and a gateway to the whole of Africa. Between meetings, the city reveals itself through its corniche, its Art Deco architecture and the Hassan II Mosque, opening onto the Atlantic.
