Casablanca Mohamed V International Airport

About Casablanca Mohamed V International Airport

Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport (CMN), named after Morocco’s king from 1927 to 1961, sits in Nouaceur Province about 30 km southeast of central Casablanca and is the country’s principal air gateway for both scheduled and long-haul traffic. It operates from three terminals: Terminal 1 handles the great majority of international flights, Terminal 2 is used mainly for domestic routes, and Terminal 3 provides additional capacity as passenger numbers grow.

A direct rail link connects the airport to Casa Voyageurs and Casa Port stations in the city, though the change of station with luggage adds a step that a door-to-door private transfer avoids.

Getting from Casablanca Airport to the city

A pre-booked transfer to central Casablanca takes around 40 minutes via the A7 motorway, longer at weekday rush hour around the port and business district. For onward travel, Rabat is a little over an hour north and can be booked directly from the airport without a stop in Casablanca.

Terminals and pickup points

Casablanca Mohammed V Airport’s three terminals are:

• Terminal 1: the main international terminal, handling the bulk of scheduled and long-haul arrivals.
• Terminal 2: primarily domestic flights within Morocco.
• Terminal 3: additional capacity for peak periods and growing traffic.

Pre-booked transfer drivers wait in the relevant terminal’s arrivals hall with a name sign confirmed in your booking, just past baggage claim and customs.

Common transfer routes from Casablanca Airport

Typical routes from CMN include:

• CMN to central Casablanca and the Hassan II Mosque, around 40 minutes.
• CMN to Rabat, around 1 hour.
• CMN to Mohammedia, around 45 minutes.
• CMN to El Jadida, around 1 hour 30 minutes.

Business travellers connecting onward to Rabat’s government district frequently book a transfer straight from the terminal rather than stopping in Casablanca on the way.

Booking your Casablanca Airport transfer

Compare licensed Moroccan operators on this site for any CMN route. You get one fixed price up front, meet-and-greet at the terminal, flight tracking and free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay, iDEAL, Wero and PayPal are all accepted.

Booking a vehicle a few hours ahead is usually enough outside major holiday periods, though reserving 24 to 48 hours in advance is worth doing around Eid and the busy summer diaspora travel season.
