The Moroccan Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Embraer to launch potential joint projects in the Moroccan aerospace industry, across areas in defence, commercial aviation, and urban air mobility.

“Morocco is set to be a major partner for Embraer Defense and Security, and we are committed to collaborating closely with the Royal Moroccan Air Force to position the C-390 as the leading choice for their Future Tactical Airlift capabilities. Our support would include comprehensive training, maintenance, and logistics for their fleet,” said Bosco da Costa Junior, President and CEO of Embraer Defense and Security. “With a growing number of countries choosing the C-390 for its outstanding performance and high availability, now is the ideal time for the Royal Moroccan Air Force to consider joining this strong community.”

Education, skills and development for young people is the basis for any strong industry, and a common value for all parties.”
