Cherif Al Idrissi Airport (AHU)

Cherif Al Idrissi Airport (AHU) serves Al Hoceima on Morocco’s Mediterranean coast from a single passenger terminal handling domestic flights and seasonal/charter international services. Landside, the departures hall groups airline check‑in counters and baggage drop; after security, passengers enter a compact airside area with gates for domestic departures and a controlled flow for international services. Arrivals descend to baggage claim and the public exit on the lower level.

Walking distances are short. From curb or parking to check‑in typically takes 2–4 minutes. From security to the nearest gates is about 3–5 minutes; to the farthest stands 5–7 minutes. There are no inter‑terminal transfers or people‑movers; signage is provided in Arabic, French, and often English.

Security screening is centralized at the entrance to departures. For non‑Schengen international flights, exit passport control occurs after security, while inbound international passengers clear immigration before baggage claim and pass customs on exit. Domestic services follow a streamlined flow without immigration. Typical security waits are 10–20 minutes outside of peak holiday periods.

Amenities include cafes/snack bars, convenience and souvenir retail, ATMs, car‑rental desks, and prayer/quiet rooms. A small lounge may operate subject to schedule and season. Public Wi‑Fi is often available but performance varies. Ground transport options include pre‑booked taxis/drivers and local services; rental‑car facilities are adjacent to the terminal.

Accessibility features include step‑free routes, lifts, and accessible restrooms. Assistance for passengers with reduced mobility (PRM) can be arranged with the airline in advance. Family facilities include baby‑changing rooms and family restrooms; bring children’s snacks and activities as queues can form during summer holiday peaks.
