Valued at $193 million, the contract awarded to Pratt & Whitney covers technical assistance services in the field of military aviation. The U.S. aerospace manufacturer plays a key role in supporting engines used by various aircraft in the F-16 family.

The cooperation comes as Morocco continues a broad modernization program for its air capabilities. The Royal Moroccan Air Force’s F-16 fleet is undergoing modernization aimed at enhancing its operational capabilities and extending its service potential.

Maintaining operational readiness is a key priority for any fighter fleet. Access to maintenance services, spare parts and technical expertise helps ensure aircraft availability while supporting their technological evolution.

The new program further strengthens the military partnership between Morocco and the United States in the aerospace sector. It also supports Rabat’s efforts to maintain a modern and capable air force backed by reliable logistical and technical support.

For Morocco, strengthening support for its F-16 fleet is therefore an important part of its broader military aviation modernization strategy.
