It is a public airport operated by the National Airports Authority (ONDA), equipped with a long paved runway and an ILS approach, and sees a mix of scheduled, charter and general aviation traffic.
Ouarzazate Airport (ICAO: GMMZ, IATA: OZZ) serves the town of Ouarzazate, a gateway city for travellers heading into the High Atlas mountains and the pre-Saharan regions of southern Morocco. It is a public airport operated by the National Airports Authority, ONDA, and is capable of handling large jet transports as well as smaller general aviation traffic, making it a useful and interesting waypoint for simulator pilots flying long desert-edge routes across Morocco.
The airport sits at the town of Ouarzazate in the Drâa-Tafilalet region of Morocco, close to the southern flank of the High Atlas mountains, at coordinates 30.9391, -6.9095 and an elevation of 3,747 feet. As an international airport handling scheduled airline traffic, it is served by an active control tower and lies within controlled airspace appropriate to a facility of its size.
The airport has a single physical runway, 12/30, some 9,831 feet long with a hard surface. Both directions are lit, and runway 30 is equipped with an ILS approach.
The tower callsign operates on 119.3 MHz. The airport is additionally equipped with an ILS Cat II landing system and a DME, giving pilots a precision approach aid for use with runway 30 in reduced visibility.
Ouarzazate Airport is operated by ONDA, Morocco's national airports authority, and has developed into one of the country's secondary international gateways, supporting tourism into the surrounding Atlas and desert regions. The field has historically supported a mix of scheduled domestic and international services alongside general and business aviation movements.
Ouarzazate Airport today handles scheduled services from carriers including Royal Air Maroc, Ryanair and Transavia, linking the town with destinations such as Casablanca, Zagora, Barcelona, Marseille and Paris-Orly. Ground handling at the field is provided by Swissport, covering passenger, ramp and executive aviation services.
