About Tangier Ibn Battuta Airport

Overview

Tangier Ibn Battuta Airport serves the metropolitan area of Tangier, Morocco, positioned strategically near the Strait of Gibraltar. As a large airport with two substantial runways, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the northern region of Morocco, supporting both commercial and potential military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Located at a modest elevation of 62 feet MSL, the airport experiences typical Mediterranean coastal weather patterns with potential wind variations. The two long asphalted runways (07/25 at 6,562 ft and 10/28 at 11,483 ft) offer significant operational flexibility for diverse aircraft types and wind conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic position near the convergence of the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean creates complex local terrain and wind dynamics. Pilots should be aware of potential maritime atmospheric influences that can generate rapid weather shifts, particularly during seasonal transitional periods.

Approach Considerations

With two extensive runways oriented at different angles (07/25 and 10/28), pilots have multiple approach options to accommodate prevailing wind conditions. The longer 11,483 ft runway (10/28) provides exceptional landing and takeoff capabilities for large commercial and potentially military aircraft operating in this strategically located airport.
