Universal Weather and Aviation’s ground-support division, Universal Aviation (Booth W073), has expanded its capabilities in northern Africa, with new dedicated resources located in Morocco and Ethiopia. “We’ve seen a great upsurge of demand in Africa,” said Judith Milne, Universal’s regional vice president Europe, Middle East and Africa. “Africa in general is a big opportunity for business aviation.”

The new Morocco services will operate under a supervision license and will have five local Universal employees based at airports in Marrakech, Casablanca and Rabat. Services at these facilities begin in June. “We’re starting training of the new employees in the next couple of weeks,” Milne said. At Casablanca, a business aviation terminal is available for non-commercial traffic, while Marrakech and Rabat offer a VIP lounge in their main terminals. On-request services will be available at Fes, Agadir and Tangiers.
