Andalucía TRADE y Andalucía Aerospace impulsan el sector aeronáutico en Marruecos, un mercado clave de 2.500 millones

nota de prensa

Un total de diez empresas y entidades de Sevilla y Cádiz buscan nuevas oportunidades de negocio en el mercado marroquí

Ambas entidades colaboran en esta acción para dar un mayor impulso a la actividad internacional de la industria aeroespacial andaluza

Andalucía TRADE y Andalucía Aerospace han organizado la participación de diez firmas y entidades de Sevilla y Cádiz del sector aeronáutico en un encuentro comercial que se ha celebrado del 21 al 23 de octubre en Casablanca (Marruecos). Según los datos de la agencia, Marruecos se ha consolidado como un polo estratégico en la industria aeroespacial, albergando más de 150 compañías y generando una facturación anual que supera los 2.500 millones de euros.

El clúster andaluz Andalucía Aerospace encabezó la intensa agenda de trabajo junto al GIMAS (Groupement des Industries Marocaines Aéronautiques et Spatiales), el clúster marroquí que agrupa a las principales empresas del sector aeronáutico y espacial del país. Esta iniciativa, coordinada entre ambas entidades, tiene como objetivo reforzar la cooperación empresarial e industrial entre Andalucía y Marruecos, dos regiones que se erigen como referentes en la industria aeroespacial del sur del Mediterráneo. Andalucía, con su sólida trayectoria y una tradición centenaria como polo aeronáutico consolidado en Europa, y Marruecos, como país emergente.

Durante la misión, la delegación andaluza participó en una amplia programación de encuentros empresariales, visitas a centros de formación y reuniones con multinacionales del sector aeroespacial, con el objetivo de estrechar la colaboración entre ambos polos industriales. La agenda de trabajo también incluyó presentaciones sobre ayudas a la inversión, B2B con firmas marroquíes complementarias en la cadena de suministro, así como contactos con multinacionales francesas y estadounidenses (Collins Aerospace) del sector y Aciturri, referente español de nivel Tier 1.

Esta acción se incluye en el marco del convenio de colaboración firmado con Andalucía Aerospace para dar un mayor impulso si cabe a la actividad internacional de la industria aeroespacial andaluza. Dentro de las actividades desarrolladas en virtud de este acuerdo han destacado este año actividades como la participación en la 56º Paris Air Show Le Bourget (junio) o la 1.ª edición de Andalucía AERO DAY en Sevilla (Aeropolis).

Empresas andaluzas

La delegación andaluza, encabezada por el propio clúster Andalucía Aerospace, está integrada por empresas y entidades procedentes de Sevilla (Canagrosa, Grupo Sevilla Control, Lamaignere, Ensia (Testia), Cubicoff Ingeniería Abierta, Ningenia, Torsesa y Aerosm) y Cádiz (GECI Española Industry). El perfil de las firmas incluye a consultoras, suministradores, ingenierías, operadores logísticos, fabricantes, etc.

Esta acción, organizada por Andalucía TRADE, está cofinanciada con fondos procedentes de la Unión Europea, con cargo al Programa Operativo FEDER de Andalucía 2021-2027, dotado con una contribución comunitaria del 85%, o cualquier otro Programa Europeo susceptible de cofinanciar esta actuación.

Marruecos: una oportunidad

El país se ha convertido en un socio clave para gigantes como Airbus y Boeing, participando en la producción de componentes esenciales como fuselajes, cableado, mobiliario interior y partes estructurales. Gran parte de esta actividad se concentra en clústeres especializados, como Midparc en Casablanca, una zona franca industrial dedicada exclusivamente al sector aeroespacial.

Este espacio es el principal 'Hub' del sector, y en él están la mayoría de los grandes fabricantes mundiales con presencia en Marruecos. Esto incluye a empresas de primer nivel (OEMs y Tier 1) como Safran, Spirit AeroSystems, Collins Aerospace, Daher Hextar, o EADS (Airbus Group). Marruecos ofrece ventajas competitivas como su proximidad geográfica a España, costes laborales reducidos y un marco legal favorable para la inversión extranjera, incluyendo exenciones fiscales y beneficios aduaneros en sus zonas francas.

Andalucía TRADE con el aeronáutico: más de 100 empresas

Andalucía TRADE mantiene una estrategia común con el clúster Andalucía Aerospace, en la que definen las principales acciones en los mercados estratégicos como India, Alemania, México, Francia, Italia, Marruecos y Reino Unido.

En los primeros nueve meses de 2025 un total de 107 empresas aeronáuticas y del espacio han participado en diversas acciones de internacionalización de la agencia entre las que han destacado actividades específicas como la 1.ª edición de Andalucía AERO DAY (mayo), organizada junto a Andalucía Aerospace en Aeropolis, que contó con más de 250 profesionales procedentes de EE. UU., Italia, China, Suiza, Turquía y Arabia Saudí.

Polémica por el fallecimiento de una azafata que trabajó estando enferma: "No valoramos lo suficiente a los tripulantes"

La comandante Lourdes Carmona pide mayor concienciación sobre el trabajo que realizan en un avión
La empresa involucrada, la taiwanesa EVA AIR, está siendo investigada por lo sucedido en un vuelo a Milán
Los sindicatos denuncian exceso de trabajo y que a la azafata se le negó la ayuda médica

24 de octubre de 2025-. El mundo de la aviación está de luto tras el fallecimiento de una azafata de la aerolínea EVA AIR. La trabajadora falleció el pasado mes de septiembre, pero es ahora cuando se está investigando tras las denuncias de los sindicatos de varias irregularidades. Voces como Lourdes Carmona, comandante de vuelo española con más de 30 años de experiencia, pide concienciar sobre la labor que realizan los equipos de las diferentes aerolíneas.

El caso ha generado gran polémica en el sector y en los medios de Taiwán, país de la aerolínea. Según medios como TaiwanPlus News, la compañía está siendo investigada porque la azafata falleció en el hospital días después de trabajar durante un turno sintiéndose mal. Los sindicatos, de hecho, denuncian que las políticas laborales de la empresa taiwanesa ejercen presión a los empleados para exigirles por encima de sus posibilidades.

"Los trabajadores de las aerolíneas, desde pilotos hasta equipo de cabina como este caso, estamos muchas veces menospreciados", explica Lourdes Carmona, cuya experiencia en el sector supera los 30 años. "Trabajar en un avión supone mucho estrés, cambios horarios constantes, una rutina muy variable y eso acaba generando un desgaste. Por eso es tan importante el descanso y actuar ante cualquier situación de problema de salud", explica Carmona.

Medios como The Straits Times explican que el supervisor del vuelo afectado, con ruta Taipéi – Milán y Milán – Taipéi, ignoró los problemas de salud explicados por la azafata. Esta enfermó en el vuelo de ida y, tras informar, le ordenaron supuestamente seguir trabajando. Además, no se solicitó asistencia médica ni durante ni tras el vuelo, como han comentado compañeros de trabajo de forma anónima. Otros medios como Taipei Times explican que la aerolínea cuenta con un sistema por puntos y, por ejemplo, ausentarse por enfermedad supone una resta a esta cuenta.

"Debemos dar mucho más valor a la situación de los trabajadores. De nosotros depende la vida de cientos de pasajeros. Y ese escenario se repite varias veces al día, por lo que cobra aún más importancia", destaca Carmona. "Los que trabajamos en el sector lo vemos día a día: debemos estar en plenas condiciones para ofrecer no solo un buen servicio, sino también un servicio seguro".

Cabe destacar que todos los vuelos cuentan con un protocolo sanitario. La tripulación cuenta con formación básica de primeros auxilios. A ello se le suma cualquier llamada a bordo por si hay algún médico que pueda ayudar. Y en casos graves, se barajan tanto los aterrizajes de emergencia como el contacto con los equipos médicos de tierra para actuar inmediatamente tras el aterrizaje.

En el caso de la azafata fallecida, esto no ocurrió y falleció días después en el hospital. Medios internacionales como el Daily Mail ya se han hecho eco, destacando la falta de actuación de los supervisores.

Sobre Lourdes Carmona:

Lourdes Carmona es una comandante de vuelo española con más de 30 años de experiencia que ejerce de piloto comercial internacional y de instructora en una escuela de vuelo. Además, compagina su trayectoria como piloto con su mentoría para empresarios y directivos, participando en conferencias en Europa, Sudamérica y Norteamérica.

Lourdes Carmona está certificada como entrenadora de potencial humano en la metodología de éxito de Jack Canfield, colaborando con la Universidad Miguel Hernández, con Airpull Aviation Academy, con EDEM y con diferentes delegaciones del Gobierno de España.

X-59 Soars: A New Era in Supersonic Flight Begins

Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, with NASA, completed the first flight of the X-59 QueSST on October 28, 2025. The single-seat experimental jet took off from Palmdale, California, and landed near Edwards, California, performing as planned and validating basic flight qualities. The aircraft is designed to demonstrate ultra-quiet supersonic flight by reducing the sonic boom to a gentle thump, with the goal of enabling over-land supersonic travel and informing new noise standards.

Key points:

What it is: An experimental jet intended to prove that supersonic travel can be much quieter.
Why it matters: A quieter sonic boom could allow commercial planes to fly faster than sound over land, opening the door to faster travel without disturbing communities.
How it works: The design aims to disperse the shock wave so it sounds like a soft thump (60–80 dB) instead of a loud boom.
What happens next: The team will expand the flight envelope and conduct true supersonic tests, plus community acceptance testing to gauge public response.
Leadership quotes: OJ Sanchez of Lockheed Martin called the flight a milestone and a testament to the team's innovation.

This milestone signals a potential redefinition of commercial aviation—faster travel with a feasible noise profile—pending further testing and regulatory developments.

Almeida presenta el Libro Blanco de la Movilidad Aérea Urbana, la herramienta que consolida a Madrid como la ciudad europea líder en este ámbito

El Palacio de Cibeles acoge el primer foro municipal sobre esta materia con representantes institucionales, empresas, profesionales y expertos
El alcalde ha anunciado que la capital contará con una normativa en esta materia antes de que termine 2028
El libro presentado hoy define una hoja de ruta dividida en tres fases con medidas que van desde el desarrollo normativo y la creación de los primeros vertipuertos, a la integración plena de aeronaves de despegue y aterrizaje vertical y el desarrollo de corredores aéreos
En septiembre de 2023, Madrid dio el primer paso para situarse a la vanguardia en este terreno con la creación de la Comisión de Movilidad Aérea Urbana, integrada por 80 miembros y cuyo trabajo ha ido avanzando a través de seis grupos especializados

VoltAero Under Bankruptcy Protection as Private Investment Dries Up

VoltAero, the French decarbonized aircraft maker based near Rochefort (Charente-Maritime), has been placed under bankruptcy protection by the La Rochelle commercial court. The move comes amid financial difficulties linked to a prospective private investor, the ACI group (which is also under bankruptcy protection), and a planned Malaysian partner, SEDC Energy. The company had just inaugurated its Cassio 330 hybrid aircraft assembly site in November 2024, aiming to produce a 12-passenger, hybrid-powered plane within about 1,200 kilometers. VoltAero has benefited from roughly €4.5 million in public funding to build its factory, but private investment has lagged. Founder and CEO Jean Botti laments what he calls a lack of appetite for industry in France and suggests seeking funding abroad, in the United States or Asia. The bankruptcy protection is intended to safeguard the company and its 35 employees. VoltAero has about a month to outline a plan and secure bridging funds, with a six-month horizon to emerge from protection, and remains committed to attempting to fly its prototype next year.
