Mohammed V Airport
Casablanca

Airport presentation

Casablanca’s Mohammed V International Airport, a majestic meeting point of tradition and modernity, is an essential gateway to the Kingdom of Morocco.

Crowned as the country’s largest airport, with IATA CMN and ICAO GMMN codes, it was named after one of the most emblematic figures in Moroccan history: Mohammed V, King of Morocco until his death in 1961. A figure of independence and father of the Moroccan nation, his reign was a powerful symbol of progress and development.

The airport brilliantly perpetuates this image of development, with its dynamism and positioning among the busiest airports on the African continent.
