Boeing to transfer some of its activities to Morocco

Morocco's King Mohammed VI, accompanied by Prince Moulay Rachid, met Wednesday evening at the royal cabinet Boeing sales department chairman Allan Mulally and vice-chairman Seddik Belyamani.

Mulally confirmed Boeing's decision to transfer some of its building activities to the kingdom starting with a production unit at Casablanca Nouasseur with the Moroccan airlines "Royal Air Maroc" to manufacture electric components going to the group's different aircraft models.

De-localization in favor of partnership with RAM in a high value-added sector shows Morocco could be competitive in new and fast-expanding jobs which contribute significantly to world economic growth.

The meeting was attended by Transport and merchant navy minister Abdeslam Znined and Mohamed Hassad, chairman of Royal Air Maroc.
