This includes increasing arrival waiting capacity and reorganizing specific control areas for international and domestic flights.

- Redesign of the departures area
- New management equipment
- Installation of e-gates

These measures are part of ONDA’s «Airport 2030» strategy, aimed at meeting traveler expectations while continuing to develop infrastructure to support tourism and air connectivity growth in Morocco.
