The Casablanca Airport is more correctly known as the Anfa Airport (CAS). There is actually quite little known about this airport. Some sources say that as of 2006, it was supposed to be closed to civilian passengers and traffic – it is unclear whether or not that has happened yet or not. Regardless, people traveling to or from Casablanca using the Anfa Airport were frequently able to receive discount air fares on airline flights to such places as Sydney, Damascus, and Tunis. People traveling to and from Casablanca can also get discount airfares through the Mohammed V International Airport, which is Morocco’s busiest airport. From there, passengers can catch airline flights domestically to Marrakech, Rabat, Agadir, Oujda, and Tangier. There are also discount air fares to international destinations, such as locations in North America, cities and airports in the Middle East and Africa, as well as other French and Spanish destinations. Of the former three, New York, Dakar, and Dubai are all crucial primary destinations. In Spanish, Casablanca literally translates into “white house.” Located in the western portion of Morocco, it is the capital of the Greater Casablanca region and it is situated right on the Atlantic Ocean, which is one of the reasons it is such a popular tourist destination. The population within the city proper of Casablanca equals out to over three million residents, while the population of the greater Casablanca area has nearly four million inhabitants. Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco, and it is also the country’s most important port. As mentioned, Casablanca is a popular tourist destination, and for many reason. Some Humphrey Bogart fans simply feel the need to take a pilgrimage to the city, to better have a feel for their favorite, classic movie. The French period New Town is arguably the most popular section of Casablanca, and it is where most of the Anfa Airport’s business comes from, due to its central location.
