Morocco Signs Aviation and Drone Manufacturing Deals at Marrakech Air Show

Morocco signed agreements at the Marrakech Air Show to expand domestic aerospace manufacturing, including aircraft engine systems, and develop a Moroccan drone alongside technologies to counter unmanned aircraft.

The agreements aim to strengthen local production and sourcing while advancing research and development in the aviation sector.

Aircraft engine systems manufacturing is a key part of the plans, linking the push for domestic industrial capacity with efforts to increase local supply.

The drone initiatives cover both the development of a Moroccan unmanned aircraft and counter-drone technologies, bringing production and defensive capabilities into the same industrial drive.

Major international companies participated in the exhibition, which brought together around 200 exhibitors from 27 countries.
