History & Legacy

Why is the airport named after Ibn Battouta?

Tangier's international airport is proudly named after Ibn Battouta (born in Tangier in 1304), one of history's greatest explorers. Having traveled over 120,000 kilometers across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia during the 14th century, his figure embodies global travel and heritage.

Inaugurated to replace the city's historic air base, the modern terminal has been expanded to support the rapid industrial and tourism growth of the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region.
