First look at new £1.1million airport terminal opening at trending holiday destination… just three hours from the UK

AN African city named a top trending destination this year has revealed what their huge new airport terminal will look like.

Casablanca in Morocco was named a top hotspot by Tripadvisor earlier this year.

Also a winter-sun destination with Brits, the country previously revealed plans for the airport expansion as part of their Airports 2030 plan.

The new terminal is part of the Casablanca Mohammed V airport, which is the country's biggest airport.

Expected to cost around DH15 billion (£1.2billion), the new terminal will be designed in an H-shape to become a “hub-style” system.

This includes a 3,700 metre runway and new control tower.

Said to be inspired by both “Atlantic waves and the Arab architecture,” national airport operator ONDA said: “This project is a true technical feat and an architectural masterpiece.”

The three-floor terminal will have a ‘green oasis,' which includes treelined areas and green spaces.

A huge duty-free area with restaurants and shops as well as an on-site hotel and VIP lounges will be on-site.

As many as 20million passengers are expected to use it a year – doubling the current 15million capacity.

The new terminal hopes to be open by 2029, in time for the 2030 World Cup being hosted in Morocco.

It hopes to be similar to other major international airports, such as Paris-Charles de Gaulle, London Heathrow and Hong Kong International.

It will be easy to get to as well, connecting to the high-speed trains network being created across Morocco.

Links will include transport to both Kenitra and Marrakech, connected by a new £4.3billion train line.

In the mean time, a number of new flights are being added to the airport.

Royal Air Maroc is launching three flights a week from London Stansted to Casablanca.

And here is the huge £5.1billion underwater tunnel that wants to connect Spain and Africa by train.
