The airport had seen some good and tangible improvements. The problem that needs to be
urgently addressed still is transport to and from CMN, especially after 2330. This is an
airport, and many international flights arrive at or around 2300. So, please CMN operators
don't leave arriving passengers at the mercy of the highly priced and notoriously disorganised
taxi drivers. The rating of any airport is measured not only by new buildings and check-in
counters, but by other services it provides to the public such transport links, their
availibility and their affordability.

A good effort to facilitate passengers and advance tourist industry but efforts, occasionally, are
not enough. Nobody knows what and where, endless bureaucracy and delays in everything. Big surprise:
on the way back to Athens, August 25th 2008, departure 02:45, we had to do the check in with only 2
desks open for 250 passengers, while the man on the desk was disappearing every 2 minutes or 3 to
talk with colleagues and fool around. The flight was delayed because most of the passengers had not
done the check in although been there 3 hours before. No duty free shop was open for travellers to
spend their money. Overall impression: decent infrastructure, average to law quality services.

If there is anything I dislike the most about CMN, it is the smoking policy. Operators of CMN,
please take note that in this time and age, the trend all over the world is to restrict, and even
ban, smoking in public and closed areas and not encourage it with a laisser faire attitude. The
provision of a reliable, puctual and continuous train service to the city is also an issue that can
be improved upon.

Casablanca Airport is a huge surprise. I had expected something less fanciful only to meet a well
run and neat airport. Clearing customs in a large bright room lit by natural sunlight is comforting.
It is a little darker at baggage claim and the arrival hall is more sombre than the departure. There
are some money changers and unfortunately, along came the touts as well. The train station is right
below the airport and train service is 1 train per hour into the city (30-40 mins). The
International Departure Hall on the other hand is modern, bright and spiffy and again, clearing
customs is a breeze. My only grouse - the check-in rows and customs are far apart so a fair bit of
walking is involved. The gates are clearly marked and easy to get to and eateries and cafes are
fairly easily located.

Reasonable airport, seemed efficient, clean and friendly. Arrived in the
evening and had to wait over an hour for the last train to Casablanca-
Voyageurs which was annoying, and there was no early train which arrived
in time for my return flight early in the morning, so I was forced to
spent the night in the airport! Plenty of guards made the place seem
secure, found a couple of soft mats on which I managed to get some rest.
All procedures were smooth, check-in, passport control and boarding by
bus.

Although Royal Air Morac tries to make CMN appear as one the up to date modern
connecting hubs, it isn't quite there. With one 767 coming in from JFK it took more than an hour to get
the whole group of passengers through. And when making a connection on the way out the waiting area
isn't really up to date either. The airport is not non smoking and if you don't like to be swarmed by
second hand smoke it makes it tough. The food choices again arent really up to good modern
standards. But with hat said those are really the only negatives I can think of at CMN. Its got cool duty
free shopping.

In transit between flights from Bamako to Lyon and return.
Overall a cosey airport, fairly clean and with comfortable seats. Many nice duty free shops with
plenty of local handicraft and jewelry. On the minus side: most shops close at night, and half the
public 'Maroc Telecom' telephone booths don't work properly.

Having arrived at Casablanca from Montreal in the early hours, I was wanting coffee. I had no local
currency, and neither did the cafe have change. I was treated to, not one, but two free cups of
excellent espresso. This doesn't happen very often in this world we live in. This is an airport that practices humanity.
