Morocco has strengthened its position as one of the most prominent car manufacturers, with a production capacity of 700,000 cars annually, as a result of huge investments and attracting capital in the sector.
Morocco has also succeeded in attracting many international companies to invest in the aircraft industry, bringing the number of companies operating in the sector to 142 companies, providing about 20 thousand jobs.
In this context, Morocco aspires to manufacture a full plane that takes off its lands for the first time, according to what the Minister of Industry and Trade, Riyad Muzour, confirmed, especially since Morocco is among the list of the 20 largest countries manufactured for aircraft parts globally.
