2. APRONS RESHAPING
1. PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Considering the developements forseen within the terminal extension’s framework, the aprons reshaping is essential.
Indeed, the loading jetty projection on the existing apron will involve the shifting of aircraft service road axis of approximately 45 m on the west side, whereas the creation of an arrivals hall and a service road on a 23 m width across from the existing air terminal departure lounges imposes a nose-in parking retreat of approximately 23 m towards the west side.
2. PROJECT CONSISTENCY
Aprons remodeling project consists of the following :
- New aircraft nose-in and parking area as well as their access roads reshaping and reinforcement;
- Moving the road ways towards the west side bypassing the building constraints and lighting;
- Moving aprons lighting poles;
- Adding to the service buildings an access on west side;
- Installing vehicules parking area for west side runway.
3 . NEW FREIGHT STATION CONSTRUCTION
1. PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Air cargo activity at Mohammed V airport is carried out, in its near totality, by the National company Royal Air Maroc in a 11.200m ² hangar built in the late Sixties and remodeled during the Eighties.
In its freight development program, Royal Air Maroc has set up an objective to annually increase the air cargo activity by 5%. This rate was surpassed in 2006 to reach 9%.
This objective has been laid down on the basis of studies, carried out by a specialized organism, which ended in the existence of a favorable market offering growth potentialities wich remain nevertheless conditioned by two important actions:
- Processing conditions improvement by setting up installations meeting safety and quality standards,
- Cargo fleet strengthning to offer greater capacity and better flexibility limiting the dependence on flight's freight.
2. PROJECT CONSISTENCY
The project consists of :
Construction of a 30.000 m ² and 150.000 t/year freight station of which :
- 16.000 m ² covered;
- 14.000m ² uncovered.
