Casablanca airport’s new terminal to be finished for 2030 World Cup ...Middle East

News by : (GCR) -
A team of UK-headquartered architects RSHP alongside France’s Egis and ALA Architects will design a new terminal at Casablanca’s Mohammed V Airport, set to increase its capacity to 20 million passengers a year ahead of the 2030 Fifa World Cup.

Costing US$3bn (12bn Dirhams), the H-shaped, three-storey terminal will use modular construction to meet its 2029 deadline.

The upgrade includes a new 3.7km runway, taxiways and a new control tower.

The terminal’s roof design is inspired by the undulations of the Atlantic Ocean and Casablanca’s coast.

A high-speed rail connection will connect the airport to Casablanca and major cities across the country.

The terminal will also contain green oases, retail areas, VIP lounges and a premium airport hotel.

A joint venture of Morocco’s two largest contractors SGTM and TGCC were awarded a contract to deliver the terminal in January 2026. Preparatory work on the site began in July 2025 and is complete.

Ivan Harbour, RSHP’s senior design director, said: “The airport will be a celebration of light, warmth and human scale, undulating from grand central spaces to intimate and calming oases, a memorable experience for all travelling through it.

“It will be a state of the art, responsible, building that interprets and celebrates the landscape of its place to create a graceful threshold between Casablanca and the world beyond.”

Stephen Barrett, RSHP’s director in France, said: “Beyond the responsibility of designing buildings that are environmentally and socially sustainable, a key architectural challenge in airport design is capturing a spirit of place—avoiding the creation of in-between spaces where a traveller can feel themselves to be both everywhere and nowhere.”

The 2030 Fifa World Cup will be hosted jointly by Morocco, Portugal and Spain, with three special centenary opening matches played in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.
