Morocco has taken a major step in aerospace development with the launch of a dedicated industrial complex in Nouaceur, set to produce cutting-edge engines for Airbus aircraft — the only site of its kind outside France. The move comes as the global aviation industry is projected to reach a value of $8.5 trillion by 2043, with manufacturers generating $423 billion last year alone. This milestone positions Morocco as a key player in Africa’s push to become a global technological and industrial hub in aviation.
