Eurocontrol, the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation, has released its latest seasonal plan, forecasting a notable increase in air traffic activity in Morocco over the coming weeks. The plan highlights a significant rise in movements handled by the control centers in Casablanca and Agadir.
According to the report, the increase is attributed to a combination of factors, including the summer travel season and Morocco's growing appeal as a tourist destination. The country has seen a steady recovery in air travel since the pandemic, and this summer is expected to be particularly busy.
Eurocontrol's data indicates that the Casablanca control center will handle a higher number of flights, while Agadir will also experience a surge, reflecting the popularity of the southern coastal region. The organization advises airlines and airports to prepare for potential congestion and delays.
This forecast aligns with broader trends in the region, as North Africa experiences increased connectivity with Europe and other international markets. Moroccan authorities have been investing in airport infrastructure to accommodate the growing demand.
