Iberia Maintenance takes step ahead with GTF MRO facility at Madrid airport

Iberia Maintenance has become fully operational for RTX’s Pratt & Whitney GTF engine overhaul at its La Muñoza facility at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport.

The facility offer disassembly, assembly, and test capability and currently several Pratt & Whitney GTF engines are undergoing maintenance.

In 2022, the company joined the GTF maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) network to provide maintenance for the PW1100G-JM engine that powers the Airbus A320neo aircraft family.

Iberia Maintenance invested in the latest engine MRO technologies in areas including grinding, balancing and test data acquisition. It also increased workforce to ramp up GTF capacity.

Enrique Robledo, chief technology officer at Iberia Maintenance, 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.”

Rob Griffiths, senior vice president, commercial engines operations at Pratt & Whitney, added:

“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.”
