Agadir–Al Massira Airport (Arabic: مطار المسيرة, romanized: Matar al-Maseera; French: Aéroport Al Massira; IATA: AGA, ICAO: GMAD) is an international airport serving Agadir,[3] a major city in southwest Morocco and the capital of Souss-Massa region.

The airport is located in the commune of Temsia, 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of Agadir proper. In 2023, Al Massira International Airport carried 2,304,045 passengers. Several years later, tourism and Agadir thrived, with new flights to Al Massira from new United Kingdom and Ireland airports.

Parking space for the aircraft is 170,000 square metres (1,829,900 sq ft) which results in space for ten Boeing 737s and three Boeing 747s.[5]
