The Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra regional council approved in principle its participation in a partnership to upgrade Smara airport. Smara is the region's second largest city after the capital Laâyoune.
The project will adapt the runway, taxiway and parking areas to receive Boeing and Airbus medium-haul aircraft.
At present, Smara features a single 3,000 metre-long runway, 16/34, and is connected to Casablanca by RAM Express using an ATR72-600.
