Iberia has announced that Iberia Maintenance now has full operational MRO capability for RTX’s Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engines, with disassembly, assembly and testing available at their La Muñoza facility.
On Monday (October 21st, 2024), Iberia announced that Iberia Maintenance is now fully operational for Pratt & Whitney GTF engine overhaul. MRO services include disassembly, assembly and testing capabilities at their La Muñoza facility, strategically located next to Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport. Iberia Maintenance joined the GTF MRO network in 2022 to provide maintenance for the PW1100G-JM engine that powers the Airbus A320neo Family. Since then, the company has invested in the latest engine MRO technologies in areas including grinding, balancing and test data acquisition, along with an increase in their mechanic workforce to bolster GTF capacity.
In Monday’s announcement, Iberia Maintenance’s Chief Technology Officer, Enrique Robledo, said,
“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. 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.”
Also commenting on Iberia Maintenance achieving full GTF MRO capability, Pratt & Whitney’s SVP – Commercial Engines Operations, Rob Griffiths, said,
“Iberia Maintenance brings more than 90 years of MRO experience into the network, with a proven track record maintaining the V2500 engine. 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.”
Iberia Maintenance provides MRO services for IAG’s airlines, OEMs and the wider airline industry, offering airframe maintenance capabilities covering nearly all IAG Airbus fleets, including the A320neo. The company’s engine portfolio specializes in the V2500 and GTF engines, supporting customers worldwide. Iberia Maintenance’s professional team provides MRO services from the airline’s main hubs in Madrid and Barcelona.
