Iberia Maintenance has become fully operational for Pratt & Whitney GTF engine overhaul.
The maintenance arm of the Spanish flag carrier provides disassembly, assembly, and test capability at its La Muñoza facility, which is located next to Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport.
“With GTF engine inductions underway, we have made a step ahead in the market. We’re increasing our maintenance capabilities and our expertise while being able to serve more customers,” said Enrique Robledo, chief technology officer at Iberia Maintenance. “Our goal as an MRO provider is to meet our customers’ needs and, with this milestone, we can serve both legacy and new engines, that will power the fleet for many decades."
In 2022, the company joined the GTF maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) network to provide maintenance for the PW1100G-JM engine that powers the A320neo aircraft family.
Rob Griffiths, senior vice president, commercial engines operations at Pratt & Whitney commented: “As one of our newest active locations in the GTF MRO network, Iberia Maintenance expands our global footprint to 18 shops and will deliver world-class services to our customers based in Europe as the fleet continues to grow.”
Several Pratt & Whitney GTF engines are currently undergoing maintenance at the facility.
