๐ข Terminal Information
Cherif Al Idrissi Airport (AHU) serves Al Hoceima on Moroccoโs Mediterranean coast from a single passenger terminal handling domestic flights and seasonal/charter international services. Landside, the departures hall groups airline checkโin 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.\n\nWalking distances are short. From curb or parking to checkโin typically takes 2โ4 minutes. From security to the nearest gates is about 3โ5 minutes; to the farthest stands 5โ7 minutes. There are no interโterminal transfers or peopleโmovers; signage is provided in Arabic, French, and often English.\n\nSecurity screening is centralized at the entrance to departures. For nonโSchengen 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 10โ20 minutes outside of peak holiday periods.\n\nAmenities include cafes/snack bars, convenience and souvenir retail, ATMs, carโrental desks, and prayer/quiet rooms. A small lounge may operate subject to schedule and season. Public WiโFi is often available but performance varies. Ground transport options include preโbooked taxis/drivers and local services; rentalโcar facilities are adjacent to the terminal.\n\nAccessibility features include stepโfree routes, lifts, and accessible restrooms. Assistance for passengers with reduced mobility (PRM) can be arranged with the airline in advance. Family facilities include babyโchanging rooms and family restrooms; bring childrenโs snacks and activities as queues can form during summer holiday peaks.
