Tangier Airport Delays: MRE Face 3-Hour Waits This Summer

The influx of tourists and Moroccans residing abroad (MRE) is putting a strain on the organization of Tangier-Ibn Battouta airport. Queues form in arrival and departure areas, particularly when multiple flights arrive in succession.

Travelers point to the slowness of passport control and baggage inspection operations. According to Achkayen, some must wait a long time before being able to leave the terminal.

Difficulties continue in the parking lot. Vehicle queues are reported at payment points, where only one or two agents sometimes handle fee collection, according to complaints gathered.

Some passengers claim that flights lasting approximately one hour can be followed by waiting times reaching up to three times that duration in the airport and its parking.

The situation is particularly problematic during summer, when many MRE arrive in Tangier with their families and luggage. Travelers are calling for more staff and faster passport controls and parking payment processing to reduce queues.
