Tangier Ibn Battuta Airport (GMTT) is Morocco's northern gateway, serving the city of Tangier on the Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma coast near the Strait of Gibraltar. It offers a single long hard-surfaced runway equipped with an ILS, making it a useful and reasonably challenging destination for simulator pilots flying into North Africa. The field takes its name from the medieval Tangier-born explorer Ibn Battuta.
Tangier Ibn Battuta Airport, ICAO code GMTT, lies at an elevation of 39 feet and serves the city of Tangier in the Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma region of northern Morocco. It is named after the fourteenth-century Moroccan explorer Ibn Battuta, who was born in the city. For a simulator pilot the airport is notable for its single very long runway, complete with an ILS approach, and its position close to the Strait of Gibraltar, making it a natural staging point for flights between Europe and North Africa.
The airport sits in the Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma region of northern Morocco, close to the Strait of Gibraltar. No further detail on airspace classification or surrounding controlled airspace is available from the sources used for this guide.
Tangier Ibn Battuta has a single physical runway orientated 10/28, with a hard surface and lighting on both directions. Runway 10 has a declared length of 11,465 feet, while runway 28 is shorter at 9,814 feet and is served by an ILS.
Tanger Approach operates on 121.2 MHz and Tanger Tower on 119.5 MHz. An ILS is available for the approach to runway 28.
Tangier Ibn Battuta Airport is undergoing development and extension, with a project covering around 199 hectares that includes a new terminal, a new control tower, additional aircraft parking, delivery ramps and expanded car parking. The works are part of Morocco's wider preparations to host matches during the 2030 football World Cup, and are intended to bring a significant increase in the airport's capacity and infrastructure.
