At a Glance:


  • Morocco is launching construction in June on a $1.5 billion terminal at Casablanca’s Mohammed V International Airport
  • Stam won a $29 million contract for initial earthworks; ONDA seeks bids for main construction through May 16
  • Terminal to boost daily passenger capacity by 50,000 and support Morocco’s World Cup logistics

Morocco is moving full steam ahead with a $1.5 billion upgrade of Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca, as it prepares to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup with Spain and Portugal. 

Local engineering firm Stam (Société de Travaux Agricoles Marocains) secured a $29 million contract for the earthworks, paving the way for the new 450,000-square-meter terminal. Construction is set to begin in June, according to Morocco World News.

Terminal to boost passenger capacity by 50,000 daily 

The new terminal will dramatically increase the airport’s capacity, handling up to 30,000 passengers per day, with expandable jetties adding space for another 20,000. 

Alongside the terminal, the master plan includes a 3,700-meter parallel runway, high-speed taxiways, expanded aircraft parking zones, and a 42-meter-high air traffic control tower. 

The project is a cornerstone in Morocco’s infrastructure expansion strategy, aimed at positioning the country as a regional aviation hub.

Casablanca currently serves as a critical link between Europe, West Africa, and the Middle East.

Expressions of interest for main contract open through May 

The Moroccan Airports Authority (ONDA) is currently inviting expressions of interest for the terminal’s main design-build contract, with applications due by May 16.

Groundbreaking on the full terminal structure is expected later this year, with completion targeted for 2029. 

The airport upgrade complements a broader infrastructure investment push ahead of the World Cup.

Morocco plans to invest over $34 billion across 35 cities, encompassing transport, energy, and stadiums.

$34 billion infrastructure drive includes Africa’s largest stadium 

A major 115,000-seat football stadium is slated for north of Casablanca, expected to be Africa’s largest.

In February, the government also committed to purchasing 168 new trains from France, Spain, and South Korea in a $2.9 billion deal aimed at modernizing the rail network. 

Morocco’s aggressive infrastructure spending has drawn attention from global contractors, airlines, and investors, making it one of the most ambitious long-term development markets in Africa.
