Al Massira Airport

Al Massira Airport (AGA) is the principal aviation gateway to southern Morocco and one of the country's three busiest airports after Casablanca and Marrakech, handling more than 3 million passengers a year. Serving Agadir — Morocco's largest Atlantic beach resort — and the wider Souss-Massa region, including the surfing coast of Taghazout and gateways to the Anti-Atlas and the western Sahara, AGA is the country's second-largest dedicated leisure airport after Marrakech Menara. It is operated by the Office National Des Aéroports (ONDA). The airport sits at Temsia, about 25 km (16 mi) east of central Agadir, at an elevation of 250 ft (76 m). A single 10,499 ft (3,200 m) asphalt runway (09/27) handles all commercial operations, and a renovated terminal delivered by ONDA features 26 check-in desks, eight boarding bridges and a design capacity of around 3.5 million passengers per year, with a further extension under study to lift throughput past 5 million. The terminal's distinctive white-arched roofline has become part of the airport's visual identity. Thirty airlines link AGA to 67 nonstop destinations, overwhelmingly leisure-oriented. Ryanair, easyJet, Transavia, TUI, Lufthansa, SWISS, Binter, Air France and Royal Air Maroc provide the densest networks from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Scandinavia, while Royal Air Maroc operates daily feeder service to Casablanca for onward long-haul to North America, West Africa and the Gulf. Its winter-sun pricing power — Agadir's 300 days of sunshine and steady 20 to 25 °C (68 to 77 °F) temperatures — keeps AGA one of the most schedule-heavy leisure airports in North Africa from October to April (2025).
