Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) in Casablanca was distinguished as best airport in Africa in 2017 by the Airport Service Quality awards of the Airport Council International (ACI).
Casablanca’s airport beat Mauritius’ Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport 2016 winner and South Africa’s Durban Airport in second and third place respectively.
CMN won the best African airport catering for over 2 million passengers per year whiles Nairobi Airport in Kenya was also adjudged the most improved facility in the Africa region.
The Airport Service Quality (ASQ) program is based on a passenger satisfaction survey of airports in several countries, says ACI.
The CMN is the hub for three top Moroccan airlines: Air Arabia Maroc, Royal Air Maroc and Royal Air Maroc Express. It was among sixteen airports making a first time appearance in the awards.
