Rabat – Morocco is increasingly strengthening its position as a gateway to Africa, a continent under constant development, where air transport is one of the most promising sectors, said, on Thursday in Seattle, Boeing Commercial Airplanes vice president of marketing, Randy Tinseth.
“Morocco’s geographical location and the large capacity of its aircraft fleet make it a main gateway to the African market,” which is expected to grow steadily in the years to come, said Tinseth in a briefing on the eve of the delivery of a Boeing’s Dreamliner to the Moroccan flag carrier Royal Air Maroc (RAM).
Morocco has invested heavily in the aerospace industry, said Tinseth, noting that Boeing is one of the multinationals that benefit from this successful orientation of Morocco, due to its strategic positioning and a skilled manpower.
Morocco signed on September 27th an agreement with Boeing to create an ecosystem of suppliers that will double the capacity of the country’s aeronautic sector by 2020.
