Kenitra Air Base (IATA: NNA) is a military airfield serving Kenitra in northwestern Morocco, about 40 km north of Rabat. Developed during the French protectorate and later used as a U.S. Naval Air Station, it is now associated with Royal Moroccan Air Force operations. It has no scheduled commercial passenger service, so civilian travelers typically use Rabat-Salé or Casablanca airports instead.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors should confirm gate access and vehicle registration with their sponsor before arriving; the perimeter is restricted, and ride-hailing apps often will not pick up at the gate, so pre-book a taxi or have your host meet you.
🚖 Getting There
Because the base is military, there is no public terminal or regular shuttle service. If you have authorized access, arrange pickup and drop-off with your host or use a taxi from Kenitra city, and expect security checks at the gate. For commercial flights, plan to arrive via Rabat-Salé Airport (RBA) or Casablanca Mohammed V (CMN) and continue by train, taxi, or rental car.
