These flights have made it possible to achieve a recovery rate compared to the same period of 2019, of 55% for passengers and 65% for movements, specifies ONDA in a press release on the activity report of the February 7 to 28.
Casablanca-Mohammed V airport, the first airport platform in the Kingdom, recorded, during this period, 50% of the volume of global air traffic, by hosting 2,724 international flights (arrival and departure) carrying 328,627 passengers, i.e. a recovery rate per compared to the same period of 2019, 72% for passengers and 74% for airport movements, the same source said.
Europe accounts for 64% of international air traffic, followed by the Middle East and Africa markets with 13% each, and North America with 6%.
As a reminder, air traffic has resumed since February 7 and to meet the new health conditions decreed by the Moroccan authorities, ONDA has set up at Casablanca-Mohammed V airport, as in the other airports in Morocco, a important device for the implementation of these new conditions of access to the national territory allowing the reception of passengers in the best conditions of health, safety and quality of service.
Thus, two tents with a total area of 1,500 m² have been installed and equipped to allow health personnel to carry out antigenic tests and PCR tests in the best conditions.
Today, since screening tests are no longer systematic for all passengers, the formalities for rapid antigen screening, which has become random since the end of last week, are carried out inside the terminal.
