The service launch should take place in the coming days, with flights scheduled to start around August 1st. The first announced rotations would concern flights to the holy sites for Umrah, during the first week of August.

This opening was expected earlier. The Minister of Transport and Logistics, Abdessamad Kayouh, had previously indicated that the new terminal was to open in June, but this timeline was ultimately not met.

Terminal 2 should allow Rabat-Salé airport to increase its capacity to 5 million passengers per year. The project is part of the broader plan to modernize Moroccan airports.
