Abstract

Given the high barriers to enter the aerospace industry, developing countries tend to use the needs of aerospace manufacturer leaders for a competitive cost as main attracting factor. The objective of this study is to investigate the attracting factors of Moroccan regions and country policy measures toward the aerospace sector. A survey applied to all aerospace firms in Morocco is the main information source. The existence and quality of industrial areas and labour force cost are considered as the main attraction forces by all local subsidiaries.
