History and development of the airport

Agadir-Al Massira Airport was opened on 19 December 1991 to replace the old Agadir-Inezgane airport, hemmed in by the city and later turned into a military base. Built by Bouygues as part of the Kingdom's major construction programmes, it takes its name from the Green March and gave the Souss region a modern gateway to the Atlantic.

The single terminal, covering around 26,550 m², was designed to handle 3 million passengers a year. A major extension project led by ONDA plans to raise capacity to 7 million passengers, with a new 45,000 m² building and a doubling of vehicle parking.

Today, Agadir Airport handles over 3 million passengers a year and ranks third nationally, behind Casablanca-Mohammed V and Marrakech-Menara. A year-round seaside resort, Agadir attracts travellers seeking sun in both winter and summer. To continue the journey to the imperial cities, Marrakech Airport is under three hours' drive from Agadir.

Terminal and services

Agadir Airport has a single terminal of around 26,550 m² that combines domestic and international flights. Compact and easy to navigate, it brings check-in, security, boarding gates and baggage claim together on a single main level, which makes connections and arrivals simpler.

Signage is displayed in Arabic, French and English to guide passengers, and moving between zones on foot remains straightforward. ONDA's extension project envisions a new building and a doubling of floor space to keep pace with growing tourist traffic.

Main services available in the terminal:

  • Free Wi-Fi throughout the terminal
  • Duty-free shops, cafés and dining on both landside and airside
  • Car rental counters at arrivals level
  • ATMs, currency exchange and bank counters
  • VIP lounge, reduced-mobility assistance and porter service

For a flight during a busy period, it's advisable to arrive 2 to 3 hours before departure: school holidays and long weekends lengthen the queues at Agadir Airport's security checks.
