Morocco Bets Big on Airports With $4.2 Billion Upgrade Deal Ahead of 2030 World Cup
The government and the Moroccan Airports Authority signed a deal laying the foundation for a modern, resilient "Airport 2030" model aiming to boost infrastructure, handle traffic growth, and develop the tourism sector, the Head of Government's office said.
Key goals and targets:
🟠Build a new hub terminal and a runway at Casablanca's Mohammed V Airport;
🟠Expand seven airports in cities hosting World Cup matches;
🟠Expand airport capacity from 34 million to 80 million passengers by 2030;
🟠Prepare to welcome 26 million tourists by 2030 (up from 17.4 million in 2024).
The 2030 FIFA World Cup will mark Africa's second hosting and Morocco's debut. The North African nation had previously bid unsuccessfully in 1994, 1998, 2006, 2010 and 2026.
