Morocco to expand capacity of Marrakech's Menara airport

The 1.78 billion- dirham investment will allow Menara airport to handle over double the passengers.

MARRAKECH - Morocco will expand the capacity of Marrakech's Menara airport with a 1.78 billion dirham ($176.15 million) investment, the state-run 2M television said on social media platform X.

The expansion should see the airport handle over double the passengers, reaching 11.5 million annually, 2M added. 

The airport saw earlier this month long queues at the police check-out points, prompting many tourists to take to social media to express their frustration.
