Agadir – Morocco and the US have signed a new Sensitive Security Information (SSI) sharing agreement aimed at strengthening cooperation on civil aviation security and enhancing the protection of travelers and infrastructure.
“The United States and Morocco signed a new Sensitive Security Information sharing agreement to strengthen cooperation on civil aviation security and help keep our people, transportation networks, and economies safer,” the US embassy in Morocco announced today.
The agreement will focus on exchanging critical security-related information tied to civil aviation, allowing both countries to improve coordination in the face of evolving threats.
By facilitating timely and secure communication, the initiative seeks to reinforce safeguards across transportation networks and reduce vulnerabilities in airport and airline operations.
“By deepening coordination and sharing critical security information, our countries are working together to address emerging threats, protect vital infrastructure, and reinforce a safer future for travelers on both sides of the Atlantic,” the US embassy said.
The move comes amid growing global concerns over aviation security, as governments seek closer and stronger collaboration to address increasingly complex and transnational threats.
Enhanced information sharing is widely regarded as a key tool in preventing incidents and ensuring resilience across critical infrastructure systems.
Beyond security, the agreement showcased the broader ties between Rabat and Washington, particularly in areas related to transport, trade, and strategic cooperation.
Strengthening aviation security is expected to contribute to smoother travel flows and increased confidence among passengers and industry stakeholders.
This aviation security agreement builds on the strategic cooperation between the US and Morocco, particularly in defense and advanced technologies.
In April 2026, the two countries conducted a landmark interoperability test of the Link-16 system during preparations for the African Lion military exercises, marking the first time such a secure, NATO-level communications network was tested with an African partner.
