Abdeljalil also reviewed the efforts made by Morocco in terms of maintaining cybersecurity and digital transformation in the field of international civil aviation.

According to the minister, Morocco continues to launch initiatives seeking to improve aviation safety and security. The North African has already achieved an impressive 85.25% civil aviation and safety rate.

This rate is aligned with recommendations made by the Civil Aviation Organization, he added.

Morocco is also forging ahead with the signing and renewal of air service agreements with different countries, boosting Morocco’s air connectivity.

The North African country welcomes millions of tourists annually. In 2023, the country attracted over 14.5 million tourists, and by 2030 they aim to attract 26 million.
