Tips for 30 min Connections
Budget extra time if your connection requires moving between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, as re-screening is required.
Watch for bus gate assignments, especially on Royal Air Maroc long-haul arrivals, since these add unpredictable time to reach immigration.
Immigration queues can be long even for transit passengers, so keep your connecting boarding pass and passport easily accessible.
Royal Air Maroc's transfer desks in Terminal 1 can help rebook missed connections, but lines there build up during bank arrival waves.
If flying Royal Air Maroc long-haul into a domestic or regional onward flight, try to book itineraries with at least 90 minutes to absorb bus and immigration delays.

Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are linked by a covered walkway that takes roughly 10-15 minutes on foot, though queues and crowding can slow this considerably. Many aircraft, especially widebodies and regional flights, park on remote stands requiring a bus transfer to and from the terminal, adding 10-20 minutes and unpredictability. International arrivals must clear Moroccan passport control even when transiting, and there is no dedicated sterile transit corridor, so security re-screening applies whenever moving between terminals or after landside processing.
