Cherif Al Idrissi Airport serves Al Hoceima, a coastal city in the Rif region of northern Morocco. The airport connects the area to major Moroccan cities and select European destinations, supporting both domestic travel and the Moroccan diaspora community in Europe. Named after the medieval Arab geographer Muhammad al-Idrisi, the airport plays an important role in seasonal tourism to Al Hoceima's Mediterranean coastline. Passenger traffic typically surges during summer months as Moroccans living abroad return home. The airport is managed by the Office National des Aéroports (ONDA), Morocco's national airports authority, which oversees infrastructure and operations.
