As airplane makers struggle to meet demand, Morocco wants to become a manufacturing hub
In Morocco, efforts to grow the country's USD 2 billion-a-year aerospace industry are part of a years-long push to transform the largely agrarian economy through subsidising manufacturers of planes, trains and automobiles. Officials hope it dovetails with efforts to grow Moroccan airlines, including the state-owned Royal Air Maroc. From eastern Europe to southeast Asia, new levels of demand have forced manufacturers to seek out new locations to build and repair parts.
