Casablanca: Mohammed V International Airport

Mohammed V International Airport (known locally as Nouasseur Airport) is the main airport serving Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city and main seaport, and the country’s main international airport. It’s also the busiest airport in Africa outside South Africa and Egypt. It was built in 1943 for US military air traffic, originally as an auxiliary for Anfa Airport (the airport immortalised in the film Casablanca), and became the city’s principal airport after the US Air Force left at the end of the 1950s.

Location

Mohammed V International Airport is located at Nouasseur (hence the local name), 30 km(19 miles) south of the city along the A7 autoroute.
