WOW I am impressed !! in 1993 I was in casablanca the airport was cute and kind of small but clean
I can only imagine what it looks like now GOOD JOB !

Casablanca really needs to upgrade the airport infrastructures. It is the largest airport in the country but there is still much work to be done to make it comparable to Western airports.
I remember being confused by the Terminal I, II, and III signals. The terminal III being a very small and far unit that was used for Umra and Hajj travels.

I don't like the new terminal, it looks like a prison!

it is looking good but still too small, they should double the size of the current airport add 1000 more car parkings long term and short term
built at least 3 new hotels
in the south end of the airport there is plenty of empty land use it to built another tripple runways and 3 other terminals including people walkers and underground shuttle that is what casablanca airport really need if they do that it will be HUGE SUCCESS in the near future

i don't like it also, at least from outside, the architecture as said izman is like a prison or a fort. it would be better is there was a curvy structure with more glass and less ciment. it will look more modern and more welcoming.
but this problem is general all the important structures in casablanca are like that , the twin center, ibis and novotel of casa city center. all are like a big ugly cement square structure. i don't know if it is the fault of the old school architects or a lack of taste of decsion making people

time to change the architects casablanca will become a soviet like city if they do not ! casa is suppose to represent the modern morocco
I think tanger will be the new modern symbol of morocco if casablanca does not change
what do U think ?

tangier will need more timeto take the place of casablanca, but you are right if they don't make an effort of choosing futuristic designs in casablanca marina , tangier will be definitevely the new modern city of morocco.

I don't think Tangier will take the place of Casablanca because this city will be always the most modern city in Morocco but they have to demostrate it.

what does mohammed 6 think ? is he happy about casablanca ? I wonder what his input? if I were the king I would built a new airport for the casablanca rabat region and call it the mohammed V casa rabat international airport and it would be located right around bousneka bay between casablanca and rabat the nouacceur airport would than be converted into a huge shopping mall and the runways would be raplaced by parks riads schools condos and homes with olot of green space
what Do U think ? ? let me know to me that is a great idea / vision
just my opinion

I know there are some plans to build a new airport just half way Tangiers Tétouan. I think this will be a ultimate chance to build a good and modern airport, because this one will be great. Just think about business traffic to Tangiers and Port Méditerannée, domestic traffic to Tangiers and Tétouan and tourists to Lixus (Larache), Tinja and Houara (Tangiers), Tamuda Bay (Tétouan) and cargo (Port Méditerannée) ...

yep ali U are right that is why I feel and I preditct ( I do not care what people say ) I have a gift about things like it is hard to explain but when I feel these things coming it always becomes true I do not know how I do it
I know and I have a very very very strong feeling TANGER will become better mote modern than casablanca , maybe not now but WAIT U will see in as little as 10 years we will see that happening

Yeah, with the 200,000 cars Renault-Nissan plant, I think Tangiers is definitely going the right way. :) Then there is a lot of media exposure about the city... which I think will also help it become more attractive.

I support your project, Karim. It's the best idea :okay:

thanks I wish I was the prime minister of morocco I bet KING MOHAMMED 6 would accept it and go for it !! that would be so cool

King inaugurates new USD 122Mn-worth terminal at Mohammed V international airport in Casablanca

King Mohammed VI of Morocco inaugurated, on Saturday, terminal 2 of Mohammed V international airport of Casablanca, which cost USD 122Mn.

Stretching over an area of 66,000sqm, the new facility will receive 6 million passengers yearly, thus bringing the annual capacity of the airport to 11 million passengers.

The terminal has modern equipments in terms of flight safety, an access check-point using video, 10 telescopic steps, 32 baggage counters, 10 elevators, 77 fixed cameras and 14 hand-held baggage detectors. The terminal also has a 1,400-car parking area.

The terminal is funded by the African Development Bank (USD 65Mn), the National Airports Office (USD35.6Mn) and the African Fund for Economic and Social Development (AFESD) with USD 21Mn.

Does anyone know what airlines will be using what terminals in the future?

From the inside the new airport looks more modern than some major US airports.

I don't know how US airports look like, but indeed the interior of the new terminal looks modern and very nice. But I have to say that they really screwed up the exterior of the new airport. Even the exterior of the old terminal looks better!
Like Izman said, it really looks like a prison. They are not ready yet sow I hope they will stille do a couple of changes in the future, maybe they can cover the whole thing up in glass or something..

I agree that the new terminal does look very modern and nice. I heard though that the passengers are somewhat unhappy with the fact that the boarding gate and baggage check are extremely far from each other and hence many people may miss their flights because of this...

hey nice but I also read in a magazine online saying that they are going to renevate the first terminal ? they are building another hotel and they are also going to add another terminal in 2009 ?? I wonder if the airport is still expanding again ? let me know because I though the work was all done ??,
not according to the article saying olot of work is left to be done and final product will be finish by late 2009?

I don't think Tangier will take the place of Casablanca because this city will be always the most modern city in Morocco but they have to demostrate it.

Tanger will be in the future the most modern city of Morocco. Tanger has a good location, good beaches etc and it is near Europe. And in Tanger there is not a big difference between the poor and the rich. Tanger has a growing midd classe and people who are living in Tanger have more money then the people in Casa, and a lot of them are now investing in the city..

time to change the architects casablanca will become a soviet like city if they do not ! casa is suppose to represent the modern morocco
I think tanger will be the new modern symbol of morocco if casablanca does not change
what do U think ?

True...

I find the new appartements and hotels in Tanger more nicer and modern then the new in Casa.

Speaking of the airport I've noticed that on the photo shown below (with regards to Terminal 2) showcases a Section of Terminal 1 that is not yet constructed:

I've highlighted the area in Red, anyone care to shed some light? are they going to Expand terminal 1?

Aéroport Mohammed V : Le terminal 2 traite ses premiers vols

Ambiance, fonctionnalité et technologie de pointe, le terminal 2 de l’aéroport Mohammed V offre un espace unique pour les passagers.


Architecture optimisant les espaces et équipements technologiques des plus modernes, le terminal 2 de l’aéroport Mohammed V a tout pour assurer une gestion fluide et intelligente des flux des passagers. Ambiance et fonctionnalité ont été les maîtres mots qui ont caractérisé les travaux de réalisation de cette infrastructure moderne et moderniste. En 27 mois, une équipe de plus de 1100 personnes encadrées par des ingénieurs de l’ONDA a travaillé d’arrache-pied pour réaliser cette imposante structure de 66.000 M2 de superficie ayant une capacité d’accueil de 6 millions de passagers. Elle peut, ainsi, assurer un traitement simultané de 10 avions moyen-courrier au contact. Le terminal 2, inauguré par SM le Roi le samedi 8 septembre, a coûté quelque 1034 millions DH. Le nouveau terminal a déjà commencé à traiter les vols Omra. D’autres vols sont programmés tels que ceux à destination de Paris, Bruxelles, Genève ou Tunis.Selon des responsables de l’ONDA, «une des principales caractéristiques du terminal 2 réside dans l’omniprésence de la lumière naturelle dans divers espaces de l’aéroport, mais également dans l’utilisation de l’énergie solaire». Respect de l’environnement oblige, ce terminal est en effet alimenté, pour ses besoins électriques, en énergie solaire grâce à des plaques disposées sur le toit en charpente métallique, explique-t-on. Un procédé innovateur de production, une prouesse technologique et une première en la matière, assure-t-on auprès de l’ONDA. Outre les vols en partances à destination de l’aéroport, le terminal répond également aux besoins d’une clientèle spécifique de passagers en correspondance qui pourront se reposer à l’hôtel situé dans la zone de transit. L’aéroport Mohammed V ambitionne, en ce sens, rappelons-le, de devenir d’ici peu un hub régional. Le terminal est doté également d’un «Business center» et d’un «Moroccan food center» où sont servies différentes spécialités traditionnelles marocaines à ces passagers en correspondance. En outre, le terminal dispose d’une galerie commerciale où sont agencées quelque 30 boutiques sur une superficie de 7.000 m2 et où est proposée une large gamme de franchises nationales et internationales. L’art n’a pas été laissé de côté dans cette structure novatrice. Le terminal 2 dispose d’une galerie Art Aéro, des espaces d’exposition qui « favorisent la rencontre du public voyageur avec les artistes», explique-t-on auprès de l’Office.

Thanks for these pics Yazoo! The new terminal looks very nice, I like the way the light falls into the terminal.

Is the terminal already in service? Because I don't see many people..

The following pic shows a development which I didn't know about. Is this going to be terminal 3??

Oh it's gonna get filled alright! a big chunk of the flights is going to be transfered from T1 to T2 as of December (Flights departing from T3 will not be affected though)

The main reason behind this is the renovation of T1, and its expansion.

Per a previous post (below) you'll see an illustration of the expansion that is going to take place at Terminal 1. So I believe it will be taken off service for quite some time since the construction works will make it impossible to handle any flights.

No, that's the new Terminal at Oujda Angads airport:

http://www.onda.ma/ONDA/Fr/Espaces/EspaceONDA/LesGrandsChantiers/Leprogrammededeveloppement2004-2007/oujda.htm

I've never been to T3 but it's apparently a very small facility that is remotely located.

Thanks! Now it looks familiar to me. Because it's shown at the Mohamed V airport I thought it had something to do with it.

Good for Oujda by the way :)

T3 is indeed a very small facility. As far as I know it's only used in these months for Hadj-pilgrimage.

I actually wish they would add another terminal and boost the flights to CMN to cater for the El-Jadida-Casablanca-Rabat region. However, Im seeing an increase of flights to Rabat (Air France Increasing flights, Air Arabia going to open up its base their + Eurociel opening a flight from Nimes to Rabat) whereas these flights could be better catered for at CMN.

I'm totally for separating ONDA into companies in order to boost competition between airports which I believe will only be beneficial. A Company called Aeroports de Casablanca would then take-over the management of Nouaceur and Benslimane.

http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/1029/nouvelleterminalfc8.png (http://imageshack.us)

good job but not good enought they need to do more this is casablanca a very big city and the first impression of a city is an airport, they need to continue to expand and built at least 3 new hotels and have more activity in that region to make it a truely international airport I hope in the future they will do that

Thanks for these pics Yazoo! The new terminal looks very nice, I like the way the light falls into the terminal.

I used it for the first time earlier this month. It's very nice

T3 is indeed a very small facility. As far as I know it's only used in these months for Hadj-pilgrimage.

You know, Once the renovation of T1 done (2010) They should transfer all low-costs to T3 since it is a small facility that costs less to operate and maintain, hence lower airport taxes, which would be quite attractive for budget airlines. It's done in a lot of major airports

^^Yeah, hopefully they'll be smart and do that. Any idea on when the renovation of T1 will be complete? Another thing, someone updated the CMN page on wikipedia but since all the flights have been transferred to terminal 2, i dont think that information is accurate.

The info on wikipedia is indeed inaccurate to some extent. However, not ALL flights have been transfered to T2. Flights bound for the US, Canada, Italy and The Netherlands depart from T3. the rest of the flights depart from T2 but some HAVE TO BE CHECKED-IN FOR at Terminal 1.

The first two links don't work. And I posted the last picture previously.

Im not sure which one they are deciding upon, nevertheless, I think that white walls and the good lighting helps them reduce the energy requirements...reduce Operating Expenses

nice a kind of looks like a mall I like it

terminal 1, the walls is now white

yup it looks like a mall i like this stil also we have the first virgin megastor in morocco :dance:
terminal 1, the walls is now white
aha do you mean the interior or exterior walls and any informations thank's :goodbye:

Looks okay I suppose, but I'm not really impressed. Looks a little bit empty and there are no Ads anywhere to be seen

if I were to grade the casablanca airport using a scale of A plus at best and FF at worst
I gave it a C minus

if I were to grade the casablanca airport using a scale of A plus at best and FF at worst

I would give it about the same grade. Doesn't look like anything worth making too much noise about. Lets hope the renovation of T1 will give a better result

yazoo yep it has great potential and it could be A PLUS but only with the right planing
terminal 1 ??? I thought it was all done ?? so they are still expanding ? I though the casablanca airport was finished ? I guess not

i m really dissapointed of the new terminal of casablanca airport is below my expectation and in comparaison with marrakech this one is horrible. it's better than the old one, but doesn't fit in world standards. normally they could spend more money on it because it's the first thing that tourists see and the first impression is very important to increase tourism.
i was there and is similar to the new airport of algiers , taking iin accouting that algeria is not touristic at all, it shameful for casablanca to have a new structure like this .

casa it is not that bad and yes marrakech airport looks sweet I have seen some really ugly airports and yes I agree casablanca airports needs more than that let us hope that the expansion of terminal 1 goes well and maybe they can add more to the airport like hotels and others really neat looking buildings

casa no i find this new ter very nice !!
all like it
we must be dissapointed because we dont have a metro and tramway in casa
but this new terminal i like it !

I was already dissapointed when I saw the renders of the new terminal and the first exterior pictures of construction made that feeling even stronger.
But since it's completed and I've seen these last pictures, I think it's not that bad. OKay, it's not a very spectaculair design and I still don't like the exterior but the inside looks very nice. And except the brown colour, I like the bright colours and what they did to the roof of the terminal very much, the light makes the terminal look very spacious.

You're right, I also noticed the resemblance with the Algiers airport, the colours, material and signs looks exactly the same.
I agree that it would be nice if tourists/visitors have a WOW-moment when they arrive at the airport, but the most important thing is service! And from what I've heard, tourists are in general very satisfied with the service at Moroccan airports. A tourist can quickly forget how an airport looks like, but he will never forget if he had a bad experience in terms of service!

Of course I would also want Casa to have a bigger and more impressive structure but Morocco is not a very rich country, and with that in mind this new terminal is not a shame at all.
I would say: allahouma l'3mech w'la l'3ma :)

i agree with you guys that is not that bad, but still they could do better for the image of casablanca and i don't think financial means are the real problem in this case , because ONDA has a lot of money and for marrakech, they found the funding even if i guess it costs them a lot of money. i guess for big structures , morocco should require the expertise of international companies for the study and the implementation. because moroccan companies still need to learn more.

I'm not THAT impressed with the airport but you have the remember that Morocco can be considered an emerging country now (not 3rd world now), therefore, it will take time to build something grandiose as Casablanca isn't Dubai, meaning it doesn't have the oil to "race" the economy in a fast rhythm.

But I hope they will build something much more appealing this time around using Moroccan engineers and architects.

La Royal Air Maroc a inauguré, le jeudi 28 février, une salle de transit au terminal 3 de l'aéroport Mohammed V. Aménagé sur une superficie de 900 m?, ce nouvel espace est destiné à accueillir les passagers qui transitent à l'aéroport de la métropole durant quelques heures.

ONDA: Une enveloppe pour les expropriations

La réservation d’emprise de l’ONDA sur les terrains jouxtant l’aéroport Mohammed V de Casablanca est déjà faite, pour parer aux besoins d’extension de l’aéroport.

L’Office va dégager une enveloppe financière conséquente dont 15 millions de DH iront à l’ouverture d’une 3e piste d’envol et une nouvelle zone terminal associé. A noter que le réaménagement de l’aérogare (terminal 1) nécessitera 400 millions de DH.

Sounds about right. Even with the new Terminal 2, it is expected that the airport will be operating at full capacity around 2011!

I think the new Runway along with the new terminal area will be between the main airport area and the Casablanca-Settat Motorway

This is a picture from official documents.

Interesting.. It actually doesnt fall within the airports' domain so I believe that expopriations are needed to clear the necessary area for the 3rd runway. So i anticipate this to take a looonng time

Main Hall:

Finally Google Earth gives us a clear view at the airport :)

(Other parts of Casablanca are also visible now, like the South Ring Motorway, Sidi Abderrahman, etc.)

I don't understand what you mean with the "regular Google"... Anyway, you should now have the right program. The program always updates itself automatically. Good luck!

Thanks Yazoo for posting.

[QUOTE=Yazoo;19467053]Casawi, do you have any infos on the renovation of the Train station?

Unfortunately I don't. Recently, ONCF has put pictures on their website of railway projects. This is the image for the project "Aéroport".
I think it's still a proposed project, because it hasn't been mentioned yet in the news. I certainly think that the train station of the airport will be renovated, just like the rest of the airport. What I don't know for sure is if it's really is going to look like this.

I can see a DIESEL store there, the only one in the airport I think? nice!

I can see a DIESEL store there, the only one in the airport I think? nice!

No, there is no Diesel at the airport! There's only Zara Women and Massimo Dutti, i think!

A video of the new terminal right before it was put into service:

s5BzlCg8apo

wow looks so nice inside the outside is not too impressive but once U go inside it looks so beautiful

Great video! And good job Titeuf! :)

I thinks that the new airport of M5 is okay but i hope that they would get a much bigger airport! i thinks its saad that every time they builds a airport they never does it right its always an easy cheap solution! I Hope that they will build a bigger airport terminal at M5just for big airlines company and the old terminals should be used of lowcost airlines and domestic flights!

And i think that they should build airline bridges (REAL GATES) at marrakech airport as a part of the expension of the new terminal, but i like the new terminal.

But i also hope that Tangers airport whould some day get real gates and become bigger but i think tanger will because there is a lot of tings going on in that city! :)

yes true
add 5 more runways east of the airport , built 4 new major hotels and cheaper hotels depending on what tourists can afford, built an international terminal only and a regional terminal only south of the airport also built bigger roads and of course training facilities

haha are you serious or just sarcastic?:nuts:

haha are you serious or just sarcastic?:nuts:

hehe, my thoughts exactly!

hehe, my thoughts exactly!

yes because some of the things he says is okay, but 5 runways heatrow dont even got that! hehe

but seriously since morocco gets more and more turists they do also need better airports and the new terminal is okay but not for a city like casa and they rather should build a terminal like the new'st one they got in Istanbul atatürk airport

5 runways would be useless, 2 more will be more than enough.

They will have to build a new terminal considering the fact that the current facilities are expected to reach their full-capacity around 2011

a 3rd runway and a new terminal area are being projected south of the airport btw

as long as airport gets better I think they have plans for future expansions ( correct me if I am wrong ) casa airport was nothing but a little tiny box when I was born in 1973 !!!

ohh thats great news! i hope they will begin sun then! i hope that AT will expend its destinaions to africa and make cmn a new big transfer hub that whould be the most logic thing for them, because they cant compete with all the lowcost airlines, but ofcourse atlas blue can!

dont get me wrong its not to defent you or anything but its moving forward with the airport i can see that, but its not good enough for a city like casa, casa is a big city and it needs a airport who fits it and as cmn are now its not big enough, am i wrong?

yes casa is a big city and needs a major airport I agree 100 % !!!!

does anybody know anything about the size of the new terminal they will "build" in casa?

does anybody know anything about the size of the new terminal they will "build" in casa?

what new terminal??

the one you said they were considering builing in casa along with the third runway...

Oh, I said Terminal AREA ;) meaning preparing a new area where future terminal(s) can be build. Nothing about any new terminal has been said :)

Oh, I said Terminal AREA ;) meaning preparing a new area where future terminal(s) can be build. Nothing about any new terminal has been said :)

ohhh hehe!
then i hope they will build something in there near future maybe a terminal like beijing's new terminal 3! haha

we do not know but hope for the best !!!! casa deserves so much better

Burkina Faso takes over the new airport :D

III - PARTIE ARCHITECTURALE :
La partie architecturale adoptée tient compte des différentes contraintes imposées par
l’exploitant et les normes en vigueur.

Après études approfondies de l’existant et des nécessités de liaisons avec le Terminal 2, il
ressort que le système constructif retenu (charpente métallique et planchers mixtes) permettra
à la fois :

o une intégration physique avec les bâtiments existants (bâtiment ville et salle
d’embarquement) ;
o une rapidité d’exécution et une légèreté des structures.
Les besoins de luminosité et de transparence, appellent à l’utilisation de parois vitrées en
façades et à l’intérieur des bâtiments, tout en sécurisant les flux.
Les jeux de niveaux et de volumes tiennent compte de ce rôle d’échangeur imposé à ces
nouvelles constructions afin de permettre les liaisons entre :

le niveau 0 du T1 débarquement du T1 et le niveau 3.90 du T2 ;

le niveau 4.70 embarquement du T1 et 7.30 du T2 avec une attention particulière pour
les zones transit, qui se décomposent en deux niveaux.

Aéroport Mohammed V

1 . Réamenagement de l'aérogare existante : Terminal 1

1. OPPORTUNITE DU PROJET

Le projet d’aménagement de l’aérogare existante à l’Aéroport Mohammed V s’inscrit dans le cadre de la mise à niveau des structures aéroportuaires, tant sur le plan du développement du trafic que sur celui de la sécurité.
Les différentes analyses ont permis d’élaborer un programme s’articulant autour des points suivants :

La gestion des flux passagers avec la séparation des Arrivées et des Départs;
Le réaménagement de la zone embarquement;
L’agrandissement du hall public;
Le réaménagement et l’agrandissement de la zone enregistrement;
La création et l’organisation des espaces commerciaux;
Le besoin en locaux de bureaux et en équipements de confort et de sécurité.

2. CONSISTANCE DU PROJET

Le projet consiste en :

http://www.onda.ma/NR/rdonlyres/C7EFE408-9627-4B21-B6FC-5F3F8D41B742/819/casa7.gif

NIVEAU PISTE : l’aménagement de ce niveau comprend :

La création d’une galerie pour le traitement des passagers à l’arrivée;
La création de pré passerelles permettant l’acheminement des passagers vers les avions en position de contact ou en poste éloigné et vice versa;
L’aménagement d’une voie de service au-delà de la galerie projetée côté parking avions;
Le réaménagement éventuel et création des espaces bureaux;
Le réaménagement et l’agrandissement des aires tri-bagages.

NIVEAU EMBARQUEMENT (+4,70) : l’aménagement de ce niveau comprend :

La construction de pré-passerelles avec sas et escaliers d’accès au niveau piste;
Le remplissage des vides entre les salles d’embarquement actuelles;
Le démontage des cloisons des salles d’embarquement existantes en vue de la création d’une salle d’embarquement unique avec portes d’accès vers les avions;
La création d’une zone transit;
Le réaménagement et la création de nouveaux espaces commerciaux;
Le réaménagement de la zone d’enregistrement avec un recul vers le hall sous douane;
L’agrandissement du hall public avec extension côté ville.
NIVEAUX + 8,60 et + 9,10 : l’aménagement de ce niveau comprend :

La création de salon première classe, de cafétérias, d’espaces pour les compagnies aériennes;
La création d’espaces commerciaux hors douane;
La création d’espaces bureaux etc.
Equipements aérogare :

28 portes automatiques
07 passerelles télescopique
44 comptoirs d’enregistrement
900 mètres linéaire de convoyeurs de bagages
05 trottoirs roulants

25 magnétomètres
33 filtre de police
60 caméras fixe couleur
21 Dômes
11 contrôles d’accès biométriques
23 contrôles d’accès de proximité

2 . Reconfiguration des aires de trafic

1. OPPORTUNITE DU PROJET

Compte tenu des aménagements prévus dans le cadre de l’extension des installations terminales, la reconfiguration des aires de trafic s’impose.
En effet, l’avancée de la jetée d’embarquement sur les aires de stationnement existantes entraînera le décalage de l’axe de la voie de desserte avions d’environ 45 m du côté Ouest, alors que la création d’une galerie arrivée et d’une route de service sur une largeur de 23 m en front des salles d’embarquement de l’aérogare existante imposeront un recul des postes de stationnement au contact d’environ 23 m vers le côté Ouest.

2. CONSISTANCE DU PROJET

Le projet de reconfiguration des aires de trafic consiste en les opérations suivantes :

Le reprofilage et le renforcement des nouveaux postes de stationnement avions éloignés et au contact ainsi que leurs voies de desserte;
Le déplacement de la voie routière vers le côté ouest en contournant le bâtiment servitudes et son éclairage ;
Le déplacement des mâts d’éclairage des postes éloignés;
Le réaménagement des bâtiments de service avec accès côté ouest;
L’aménagement d’un parking pour moyens de piste côté ouest.

3 . Construction de la nouvelle gare de frêt

1. OPPORTUNITE DU PROJET

L’activité fret aérien à l’aéroport Mohammed V est exercée dans sa quasi-totalité par la Compagnie Nationale Royal Air Maroc dans un hangar d’une superficie de 11.200m² construit durant la fin de la décennie 60 et réaménagé au cours des années 80.

Dans son programme de développement du fret, Royal Air Maroc s’est fixé comme objectif une augmentation annuelle de 5% de l’activité fret aérien. Ce taux est passé en 2006 à 9 %.

Cet objectif a été arrêté sur la base d’une étude effectuée par un organisme spécialisé qui a conclu à l’existence d’un marché favorable offrant des potentialités de croissance qui restent néanmoins conditionnées par deux actions importantes :

L’amélioration des conditions de traitement par la mise en place d’installations répondant aux normes de sûreté et de qualité,
Le renforcement de la flotte Cargo pour offrir une plus grande capacité et une meilleure flexibilité atténuant la dépendance du fret des vols passagers.

2. CONSISTANCE DU PROJET

Le projet consiste à :

La construction d’une gare fret de 30 000 m² et 150 000 t/an, dont :

16 000 m² couverts;

How much passangers about one year will Casablanca take ??
Marrakech how much ??
Tanger ??

not sure about marrakech and casablanca but I heard 12 or 13 million per year for casablanca once airport is all done

Casablanca: 11.5 Million
Marrakech : 10 Million
Tanger: 1.5 Million

Marrakech is coming soon nr 1 in Morocco ??

but marrakech airport is smaller than casablanca unless they built more runways and more terminals ?/??

Marrakech is coming soon nr 1 in Morocco ??

No, Casablanca will have around 6.5 million passengers in 2008 while Marrakech only around 4. And I expect CMN to even widden the gap between it and Marrakech in the coming few years. for the very simple reason that Marrakech traffic is mainly O&D, while Casablanca acts as a transit hub

Beautiful :

Guys we should put "Completed" in the title ;)

it cannot be finished yet, i see in the pictures a train/metro/tram that is going through a tunnel, is there a tunnel btw? i dont believe it. maybe in 2012

I heard many different things one is capacity of casa airport will be 2 times as big as today by 2013

it cannot be finished yet, i see in the pictures a train/metro/tram that is going through a tunnel, is there a tunnel btw? i dont believe it. maybe in 2012

The airport is deserved by the TER Al Bedaoui for the moment !

it cannot be finished yet, i see in the pictures a train/metro/tram that is going through a tunnel, is there a tunnel btw? i dont believe it. maybe in 2012

That's the Express-train to casablanca. If memory serves me right, that station opened in 1992 so absolutely nothing new there.

it cannot be finished yet, i see in the pictures a train/metro/tram that is going through a tunnel, is there a tunnel btw? i dont believe it. maybe in 2012

There is already a RER (Al Bidaoui), where the terminus station is situated at level -1 in the arrivals area of Terminal 1. Now this terminal is under reconstruction, but the RER hasn't given up its operations.

not sure about marrakech and casablanca but I heard 12 or 13 million per year for casablanca once airport is all done

Casablanca Terminal I : 5 million / year ==> New Terminal I : 10 million/year
Casablanca Terminal II : 6 million/year
Casablanca Terminal III : 400 000 /year

So, today the capacity is 11.4 million/year (but the T1 is closed so actually it's only 6.4 million/year today)

Once the New Terminal I will be opened, the capacity will be 16.4 million/year

There isn't one right now? I've never thought about that. Where is the air traffic control then?

There isn't one right now? I've never thought about that. Where is the air traffic control then?


Well, actually there is no need for a tower for the air traffic control.
Many Moroccan airports have one (like here in Tetouan), but its not essential

I think the air traffic control is on the pic Slaoui posted, this center is completely new. But Mohamed V aiport also has a tower, but it's not that big, it's next to the small terminal III.

wow look evertyhing is so green !! I like that did U noticed that ?

What airline is this?

What airline is this?

Royal Air Maroc :)

for a city the size and importance of casablanca the airport must be at least 2 times bigger than it is now
I hope it will happen !!

Yeah that sounds as a good idea, but i think you have to keep that as a dream! :ohno: hehe...:lol:

But it will be nice if they got a new terminal, maybe a litle like the new one of barcelona, and er new up to date control tower.

And the other terminal's they should use them for low-cost airlines and domestic flights.

The opening of the new Terminal I (currently under construction), will increase the total capacity to 16 Million, since 2011

this is the worst airport ever so ugly it makes me feel sick

No, it's quite nice I think but the two terminals don't match. One of the best looking airports in the world that I've ever seen is the one in Porto.

this is the worst airport ever so ugly it makes me feel sick

Well, maybe you are really sick, because it's not normal how many negative feelings you have on one day (first day too..). I refer to your other posts in other threads.

[ It almost makes me think you're Algerian :D Are you? ;) ]

something is wrong with him sure casablanca airport is not the best but it is ok I like it nothing great or fancy but it is clean and decent hope it will expand more and improve in the future

The airport looks nice and i was impressed about the changes.
YOu guys don't pay attention to this weird guy. if you guys check out his stats all his posts are negative and obnoxious. dude you need to be on some heavy medication before you decide to kill yourself. :bash:

I wonder if there are any news concerning the Terminal 4 :)

I wonder if there are any news concerning the Terminal 4 :)

I have found this :

I can see many A380 landing in Mohamed V Airport :)

Ok, but what does it have to do with Terminal IV ? :p

Aéroport Mohamed V Premier site vert au monde!


· Une étude de faisabilité sera remise fin janvier

· Un parc éolien développé par Nareva Holding* en 2012 à Essaouira

· Il assurera 95% des besoins en énergie de l’aéroport Mohamed V


L’aéroport Mohamed V de Casablanca passera à l’électricité verte. Ce sera ainsi la première enceinte aéroportuaire au monde à consommer de l’énergie propre. L’Office national des aéroports (ONDA) et Nareva Holding (filiale de l’ONA), spécialiste de l’énergie et de l’environnement, ont conclu un accord pour l’installation d’un parc éolien à Essaouira. L’étude de faisabilité sera remise fin janvier à l’ONDA. Mais rien ne filtre pour le moment sur le montant de cet investissement. Le parc éolien, qui sera opérationnel en 2012, sera d’une puissance de départ de 10 mégawatts. Il alimentera à hauteur de 95% les besoins en énergie de l’aéroport Mohamed V. Le hub de Casablanca consomme annuellement près de 21 gigawatts.
Avec les extensions (nouveaux terminaux), cette consommation passera à 31 gigawatts. L’enjeu du parc est qu’il permettra de maintenir intacte la facture énergétique malgré les extensions entreprises. Par ailleurs, l’entrée en service de ce parc éolien devrait permettre d’éviter l’émission d’environ 25.000 tonnes de dioxyde de carbone par an. Ce qui permettra à l’ONDA de respecter les principes du pacte mondial (Global Compact) de l’Organisation des Nations unies auquel l’Office a adhéré en 2005. Selon l’évolution des besoins des autres principaux aéroports du Royaume dont des projets d’extension sont en cours, l’accord de partenariat prévoit aussi le renforcement de la puissance initiale installée dans ces sites.
L’ONDA compte également introduire de l’énergie propre aux autres enceintes aéroportuaires. A cet effet, les aéroports de Marrakech, Tanger et Rabat-Salé devront à leur tour fonctionner à l’énergie solaire. Des capteurs solaires seront installés sur les portes (portes vitrées) de ces sites.
Pour rappel, l’ONDA avait réévalué son plan d’investissement (cf. www.leconomiste.com). L’Office prévoit de dépasser les 22 millions de passagers par an. Raison pour laquelle l’Etat lui a accordé une rallonge budgétaire. Fort de cette rallonge, le budget global de l’Office a atteint 10,5 milliards de DH. Le financement accordé par l’Etat servira au réaménagement du terminal 1 de l’aéroport Mohamed V de Casablanca, à la construction du terminal 3 de l’aéroport de Marrakech ainsi que le nouveau terminal d’Oujda-Angad. La rallonge profite également à la logistique et la mise à niveau des principaux aéroports. Les projets prévoient l’extension du terminal 1 de l’aéroport de Rabat-Salé, le développement de plateformes à Benguerir et Tan-Tan et le système d’information de gestion intégrée aéroportuaire ainsi que le programme de sûreté et sécurité. L’ONDA devrait recevoir 4 milliards de DH d’ici à fin 2010.

* Qui est un groupe Marocain, je précise pour ceux qui nous regardent jalousement :)

^^ That's nice. But for my own safety, I'll use the Marrakech airport from 2012 :D

sincerly the design is no good.

L’aéroport Mohammed V de Casablanca, première place aéroportuaire au monde à passer à l’énergie propre, à travers un parc éolien à Essaouira


L’aéroport Mohammed V de Casablanca va devenir la première enceinte aéroportuaire à fonctionner en énergies propres. Un parc éolien sera installé à Essaouira en 2012 et permettra d’assurer 95% des besoins en énergie de l’aéroport Mohammed V.
Les aéroports de Marrakech, Tanger et Rabat-Salé devront à leur tour fonctionner à l’énergie solaire par l’intermédiaire de capteurs solaires qui seront installés sur les portes vitrées.
Le parc éolien, dont l’étude de faisabilité est en cours de finalisation, sera opérationnel en 2012 et aura une puissance de départ de 10 mégawatts.
Le hub de Casablanca consomme annuellement près de 21 gigawatts et avec les extensions que connaît cette enceinte aéroportuaire avec de nouveaux terminaux, cette consommation devrait passer à 31 gigawatts.
Ainsi, la facture énergétique restera intacte grâce au parc éolien malgré les extensions actuelles ou futures. Outre l’aspect économique, l’exigence écologique sera respectée par l’entrée en service du parc devrait permettre d’éviter l’émission d’environ 25.000 tonnes de CO2 par an. Ainsi, l’ONDA respectera ses engagements vis-à-vis des principes du pacte mondial de l’ONU (Global Compact) auquel l’office a adhéré en 2005.
L’ONDA compte également introduire de l’énergie propre aux autres places aéroportuaires.
En effet, des projets d’extension sont en cours dans les principaux aéroports du Royaume, et l’accord de partenariat signé entre l’ONDA et Nareva Holding (à propos de la création du parc éolien d’Essaouira) prévoit le renforcement de la puissance électrique initiale installée dans ces sites afin de suivre l’évolution des besoins en énergie.
Il faut rendre hommage à M. Abdelhanine Benallou, directeur général de l’ONDA et ancien responsable du Centre de Développement des Energies Renouvelables, qui a su mettre en marche cette dynamique.
Nous y reviendrons en détail. Bon vent.

Marrakech airport is smaller but so much more inviting and much more beautiful than the casablanca airport

this terminal is not pretty at all, plus with the white light, it kind of feels Cold and " Russian " ! lol ! I ve been there few weeks ago, some metal detectors were flashing and making noise all the time without even a cop to watch them ! some foreign tourists were laughing their ass off !

Let's hope because this ''thing'' will never become an international hub such as KL,abu d'habi or dubai with this actual ugly,small and empty aeroport

Now I understand why they call it a ecological airport :lol: It would make a nice Aquapark, that's for sure!

Marrakech airport looks indeed nice in the first place. But it's actually just a cheap box also, that was built in a hurry to create more space. Marrakech airport was flooded too at the time of heavy rainfall.

the crazy rainy weather makes things worst and does not help
I hate to say this let us hope that this terminal is destroyed one day by more rain ( with nobody getting injured of course ) and start over
it could happen and maybe that will a big wake up call

sincerly the design is no good.

welcome to NORTH KOREA LOL Not Casablanca
that is what it feel like being in communist country by looking at this building
they can do much much better

While it's gigantic and a little modern, it just doesn't tickle my fancy, it's far from being a awesome terminal

J'ai écouté la séance de questions au Parlement il y a quelques minutes (me demandait pas comment j'ai fais), et il y a eu double échange entre un député et Ghellab. Le député à dit qu'il y a une surfacturation entre 3 et 4 milliards (je présume de centimes) sur les travaux effectués à l'aéroport. Il a dit qu'il publiera bientot les chiffres de son enquête. Ghellab était en train de lui répondre, quand le président de la séance lui a coupé la parole pour la donner à un député pour qu'il pose une autre question. :ohno:

hello to everyone!
I am sorry for the offtop, but I beed help!

I was trying to find any information about connection of all the three terminals of Casa airport and I didn't find it.
Does anybody know how much does it take to get from the T2 Arrival to T1 Departure in Casa?

I'm going to buy tickets from Paris to Dakhla and try to understand if I will manage it - I will have only 1h50mins between flights (arrival with Air France at T2 and departure with RAM from T1). Will it be enough to get the luggage and to check-in for the next flight in T1 or I should forget about this idea?

Pleeeease, guys, if anybody knows, do advise me smth!

Beforehands,
thankful ;)

Of course, you do not have to worry at all, it will take few minutes only to get to Terminal 1 as you'll have to walk only, the two terminals are not separated.
However, if you had to get to Terminal III, then it would have been a bit stressful, because you'd have to take a cab or bus since it is located in another building.

BTW, welcome to Morocco and to SSC Morocco :)
