Morocco's aviation industry has multiplied by six times during the last decade, the Moroccan Minister of Industry, Trade, Investment and Digital Economy Hafid Elalamy said on Tuesday.

     He made the remarks after Morocco and Boeing signed in the Moroccan city of Tangier a draft agreement for the establishment of a Boeing industrial ecosystem in the North African kingdom.

     Under the agreement, which was signed during a ceremony chaired by King Mohammed VI, Boeing and Morocco will give structure to an ecosystem composed of suppliers and organize a sourcing platform based in Morocco.

     He said Morocco's aviation sector has now 121 actors in aircraft parts manufacturing, adding that the kingdom is ranked 15th in terms of investments in the aviation sector.

     Over the past decade, the aeronautics sector in Morocco has witnessed a remarkable development and the North African country is currently manufacturing and supplying parts for Airbus, Boeing,  Bombardier and Dassault Aviation.  Enditem
