Nador International Airport is an airport in Nador province serving the city of Nador, Morocco (IATA: NDR, ICAO: GMMW). It is also known by its former name Taouima International Airport and Al Aroui International Airport. Nador is a small international airport with links to MA main airport and some NW European destinations (B, NL, D). Busy airport in summer as many Morocan nationals living in NW Europe originate from Nador province (mainly the Tarifit-Berbers) . Airport is state run by the same company as all other Moroccam public airports (ONDA).

In the year 2008 the airport handled over 215.000 passengers[1].

It is also used by people visiting Melilla.

Terminal and passenger facilities

Nador Int Airport

Nador International Airport has a single terminal, divided in arrivals and departures, both on the ground floor and sharing the public/open area with basic facilities as a coffee-shop, snack-corner and small shop. Check-in terminals are located at one side of the main terminal hall, while the other side is for the baggage check for arriving customers. After passport control there is a waiting-room, a smoking-lounge and a small room for praying. The tax-free shop is closed. On boarding you leave via controlled doors and walk to the plane.

Outside the terminal building there is a paid parking lot and -on arrival of a scheduled flight- taxis are available for connection to Nador and other locations. No other forms of public transport are available.

Access to the airport

The airport is located near Taouima and aprox. 30 km. from Nador city by road. No public transport as trains or regular busses are available.
On arrival-time of an incoming flight many grand taxis wait outside the terminal and offer transfers to most regional cities.[2]
A paid car-park area is directly outside terminal, mainly used to bring passengers or pick up arriving passengers.
The roads between the airport and Nador city are in good condition and signposted in Arabic and French.

Traffic statistics

Like other Moroccan airports the traffic is very seasonal. All through the year Royal Air Maroc (in codeshare with Atlas Blue) flies several times per week to Brussels and Amsterdam, but in the summer-season more flights are scheduled. In the peak-season RAM even uses their Boeing 747 Jumbo-jet every week on the route to/from Amsterdam and Brussels in stead of the smaller Boeing 737 the rest of the year.

The seasonal spread, based on the monthly statistics of 2008, shows peak-traffic in the summer:

Item Movements =% of full year SUM Passangers =% of full year SUM
Year 2008[6] 1983 100 215.045 100
January[7] 154 6,75 15.104 7,02
February [8] 144 7,26 12.638 5,68
Jan + Feb 14,01 12,70
July [9] 416 20,98 33.429 15,55
August [10] 274 13,82 30.607 14,23
Jul + Aug 34,80 28,67

In the two summer months nearly a third of the annual traffic is handled by the airport. Because Nador and surroundings isn't (yet) a tourist-destination such as Agadir or Marrakesh nearly all passangers are Moroccan nationals (incl. 2nd and 3rd generation) visiting relatives.[11]
