Airbus to open helicopter center in Morocco

Airbus has announced its intention to expand its presence in Morocco, particularly by establishing a regional aircraft maintenance, repair, training, and operations center to serve African markets. The group is also exploring the development of its helicopter activities following its acquisition of Spirit, aiming to strengthen its operations in Morocco, which it considers strategic within its expansion vision. Currently, around 1,300 employees work in Morocco, engaging with approximately one hundred local suppliers. All components of its civilian aircraft are manufactured there, reflecting a significant growth in the national aviation sector, which comprises over 155 companies, generates exports exceeding 3 billion dollars, and has a local content rate of 42%. Officials emphasize that the stability of the political and regulatory environment, along with Morocco’s geographic location and skilled workforce, are key factors making the country a preferred investment destination in the aerospace industry. The sector is progressing towards maturity, with continued development of expertise and products meeting global standards.
