one of Africa’s most prestigious aviation events, is back! From the 30th October
to the 2nd November 2024, the Marrakech military airbase will host the 7th edition
of this international exhibition dedicated to aeronautics and space, organised jointly
by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the National Defence Administration and MEDZ,
a subsidiary of the Caisse de Dépôt et de Gestion.

Since its launch in 2008, the MAS has gone from strength to strength, with steady
growth over the years, testifying to its appeal and Morocco’s positioning as a global
aerospace industry hub. The country’s strategic position, combined with its world-
class infrastructure and investment in technology, makes it a key regional hub for
the aerospace and
defence industry.

By the High Royal Instructions of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, the Marrakech Air
Show has established itself as a unique platform for the exchange and collaboration
of key players in the global aeronautics industry. This new edition promises to 
be even richer in novelties and business opportunities.
