Kuwait, 15 January 2017 - National Aviation Services (NAS), the fastest growing aviation services provider in the emerging markets, has commenced the refurbishing and development of 16 departure and arrival lounges at nine Moroccan airports. These include Casablanca, Marrakech, Rabat, Agadir, Tangier, Oujda, Fez, Dakhla and Laayoune.

Part of a ten year concession awarded by the Moroccan Airports Authority (ONDA), NAS will also operate these lounges and provide “Pearl Assist”, meet and assist services for arrivals and departures. With Morocco, NAS has now expanded its “Pearl Lounge” network to over 30 lounges in more than ten countries.

Hassan El Houry, CEO, NAS said, “We are excited to be working with the Moroccan Airports Authority on the redevelopment and operation of nine major airports in the country. Airport service quality is a crucial factor for travel and helps facilitate traffic in and out of a country. We are pleased that the Government of Morocco recognizes this and has invested into the development of airport infrastructure. NAS will continue to provide operational expertise, world class facilities and industry benchmarked service levels to ensure that Moroccan airports supersede recognized international airports around the world.”

NAS will continue to add new lounges and refurbish existing lounges over the next five months.
