The short answer
Mohammed V International Airport (CMN), Morocco's busiest, is in Nouaceur Province, 30 km from central Casablanca. After landing you go through passport control, baggage reclaim and customs into the public arrivals hall. From there: the Al Bidaoui train to the city's two main stations, the Aérobus to Casa Port, the taxi rank, or a driver holding your name.
From the plane to the arrivals hall
- Passport control: queues vary with the time of day and the season.
- Baggage reclaim and customs, then the doors into the public arrivals hall.
- The arrivals hall: this is where a pre-booked driver waits with a sign showing your name.

A new terminal is coming
In May 2025 the Moroccan Airports Authority (ONDA) launched an international tender for a new H-shaped terminal at Mohammed V, estimated at US$1.6 billion, to raise capacity from about 15 million to 35 million passengers a year under its Airports 2030 strategy. Until it opens, flights keep using the existing terminals.
