Washington – The decision of the Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier Inc. to build a new factory in Morocco reflects the emergence of Morocco as “a burgeoning aerospace manufacturing hub” for the aerospace industry, wrote Wednesday Wall Street Journal in its online website.
The business paper underlined, in this regard, that Bombardier, the world’s third-largest aircraft maker behind Boeing and Airbus, has chosen Morocco because of its “proximity to European markets and the number of aerospace suppliers already there.”
Quoting Pierre Beaudoin, chief executive of Bombardier, the Wall Street Journal also noted that the company’s decision is necessary for the ambitious Canadian aircraft maker to stay competitive in the international market.
The paper said that Morocco provides qualified labour and low-cost shipping as well as the government’s commitment there to developing the sector, which has attracted some 100 aerospace companies to the country.
