About Dakhla Airport

Dakhla Airport serves the Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab region from its location in Oued Ed-Dahab Province, within the Dakhla district, around 5 km from the city center. Open to civil air traffic since the late 20th century, it is operated by Morocco's Office National des Aéroports (ONDA) and plays a strategic role in connecting this fast-growing Atlantic destination with the rest of Morocco and selected overseas markets.

The airport is organized around passenger facilities for domestic and international flights, supported by a dedicated business aviation terminal, check-in counters, boarding gates, parking areas, medical assistance, shops, cafés, internet access and standard passenger services. Its annual traffic is now well above 200,000 passengers, with demand rising during holiday periods, winter-sun travel and peak kitesurfing seasons, while quieter months are driven mainly by residents, business travel and essential domestic flights.

Airlines operating from Dakhla Airport include Royal Air Maroc, Transavia France, Binter Canarias and Ryanair, with direct links typically including Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Agadir and Laayoune, as well as international routes such as Paris-Orly, Marseille, Gran Canaria and Madrid. Demand for flight tickets is supported by tourism, regional investment, government and business mobility, and the airport's growing importance as a gateway to southern Morocco.
