AIP referenceGMMW — AIP Morocco (SIA Maroc / Airports of Morocco, formerly ONDA)
Operating hoursExact published AIP operating hours for GMMW were not independently accessible during (onda.ma / Airports of Morocco's site returned HTTP 403 to automated access) — no curfew has been reported. H24 ATS/tower operation is common at Airports of Morocco's larger international fields, but was not independently confirmed specifically for GMMW, so h24 status is recorded as unconfirmed rather than assumed true. Traffic is strongly seasonal, concentrated in the summer diaspora/leisure peak — confirmed via Wikipedia's cited passenger-traffic history, roughly one-third of annual passengers arrive in the peak summer months.
TerminalsSingle terminal (original ~5,600 sqm building added 2001; demolished and rebuilt 2016–2021, reopened 9 Jul 2021; since reported at a ~2M pax/year design capacity with 22 check-in counters), arrivals and departures both on the ground floor; apron/parking area ~54,000 sqm, sized for two Boeing 747s or four Boeing 737s.
Runways (1)
  • 08/26 · 3,000 m / 9,843 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS ILS CAT I, plus VOR/DME/NDB coverage (confirmed via published airport infobox data); exact runway-end approach direction/category and PAPI-end placement were not independently verified against the current AIP Morocco / SIA Maroc chart in this check
Airport contact
Morocco's principal air gateway to the Rif/Oriental region and a major diaspora-traffic airport serving the large Moroccan expatriate community in Western Europe; Air Arabia Maroc and Royal Air Maroc anchor the schedule alongside Ryanair and Transavia to Amsterdam, Brussels, Barcelona, Madrid and other European points, with traffic strongly skewed to the summer leisure/diaspora peak (confirmed: roughly one-third of annual traffic falls in the summer months, per Wikipedia's cited passenger-traffic history). CY2024 traffic of 1,053,745 passengers (+3.9% over CY2023's 1,025,652) is used here; both figures are corroborated by an independent secondary source (Wikipedia's year-by-year passenger table, which matches the previously-confirmed CY2023 figure exactly) but could not be verified directly against ONDA/Airports of Morocco's own site, which returned HTTP 403 to automated access throughout — treat as reliable but not primary-source-confirmed. ONDA was renamed 'Airports of Morocco' in 2025. Single runway 08/26 (3,000 m asphalt, 45 m wide) is ILS CAT I-equipped with VOR/DME/NDB coverage; confirm exact approach-direction and category detail against the current AIP Morocco / SIA Maroc chart before operational use. The terminal was demolished and rebuilt 2016–2021, reopening 9 Jul 2021. TIMEZONE ALERT: Morocco is ending its 2018–2026 permanent-DST policy and reverts to permanent UTC+0 year-round from 20 Sep 2026 (confirmed via Wikipedia's 'Time in Morocco' article, citing a Morocco World News report) — NDR is UTC+1 as of (31 Aug 2026) but switches three weeks later, retiring the old Ramadan clock-change exception. facts.h24 is recorded as null (unconfirmed): 24-hour ATS/tower operation is typical for Airports of Morocco's larger international fields but was not independently confirmed for GMMW specifically.

Cargo handling Unconfirmed
RAM Handling
As the general handling agent at Nador, RAM Handling would cover baggage/mail/light freight; the airport has a single small passenger terminal with no dedicated cargo-terminal operator and historically negligible freight volumes, consistent with a passenger-only regional field (2024 traffic: just over 1 million passengers, per Wikipedia).
