Morocco invests millions of dirhams to strengthen security at three airports

With the aim of strengthening security at Moroccan airports, the National Airport Office (ONDA) awarded the Unisystem/Ultranet Multimédia consortium a contract of more than 40 million dirhams to modernize and reinforce video surveillance, access control and security systems perimeter of the Ibn Batouta airport in Tangier.

In addition to increasing security, Morocco aims to expand and modernize its airports. In this sense, earlier this month, the Minister of Transport and Logistics, Mohamed Abdeljalil, announced in Rabat that the Kingdom will work on the expansion and renovation of several airports to reach a capacity of 80 million passengers in 2035, compared to the 40 million current.
