Morocco Aims to Establish Itself as a Global Aviation Manufacturing Hub

CASABLANCA, Morocco — Moroccan officials are taking steps to position the country as a key player in the global aviation industry, capitalizing on its potential as a location for aircraft manufacturing. With an aim to diversify its economy beyond traditional agriculture, Morocco is looking to expand its approximately $2 billion-a-year aerospace sector by attracting investments from major aircraft manufacturers and their suppliers. As demand for commercial aircraft rebounds post-pandemic, leading companies like Boeing and Airbus are exploring options to decentralize their manufacturing processes. These companies, along with other suppliers, are considering regions that offer a combination of skilled labor and cost efficiency, stretching from Mexico to Southeast Asia.

Morocco is competing against several other nations to secure these manufacturing contracts, as companies face pressing needs to increase production rates and reduce delivery times. The country’s strategic location and efforts to enhance its aviation capabilities are seen as advantageous as European suppliers grapple with labor shortages. Hamid Abbou, CEO of the state-owned Royal Air Maroc, noted the significant opportunities for Morocco in the aviation sector, stating, “The needs are huge and we are in a very good position.” The nation has actively promoted its aerospace industry through various incentives and training programs. For instance, the Institute of Aeronautics Professions in Casablanca (IMA) has been instrumental in developing a skilled workforce, which includes a notably high percentage of women compared to other regions—42% of the sector’s employees are female.

Morocco already hosts over 130 aerospace companies. Among them, Safran Aircraft Engines operates a facility near Casablanca that services engines for both Boeing 737s and Airbus 320s, handling repairs every six to eight years before returning them to international clients, including airlines from Brazil, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. At a recent event marking the 25th anniversary of Safran’s partnership with Royal Air Maroc, Safran CEO Jean-Paul Alary praised Morocco’s contributions to the aviation sector, emphasizing the quality of the local workforce and expressing optimism about the country’s growing role in the industry. As global manufacturers seek to alleviate bottlenecks in production and delivery exacerbated by the pandemic, Morocco is poised to further its ambitions as a manufacturing hub, potentially transforming its economic landscape significantly.
