Iberia will conduct the MRO services in its Madrid and Barcelona hangars.
Volotea has signed an MRO contract with Iberia to conduct C-Check revision on its Airbus A320 fleetin Iberia’s Madrid and Barcelona hangars for the next five and a half years, starting from January 2023. Volotea will send its A320 aircraft to Iberia Maintenance to submit them to the exhaustive checks that are carried out during the winter seasons.
Iberia’s Madrid and Barcelona facilities have six hangars with 16 positions and the necessary workshops to carry out maintenance services, and all the management and logistics of the materials necessary to overhaul the A320 aircraft and the engines with those that are equipped.
Carlos Muñoz, Founder and CEO of Volotea said, “This long-term agreement assures us of first-class maintenance services for our A320 fleet, also carried out with a leading and reputable Spanish company such as Iberia Maintenance, which allows us to support and promote this industry in our country. Having inspection services of the highest quality is key for Volotea, an airline whose main priority is safety and high operational integrity.”
Javier Sánchez-Prieto, Chairman and CEO of Iberia, said, “This agreement with Volotea helps to further consolidate Iberia Maintenance as a reference provider in southern Europe for all MRO services and will also boost our development project of the maintenance business in Barcelona”.
Last year, Volotea completed the transition to a full Airbus fleet by betting on the A320 model, with which its operations are now cleaner and more environmentally friendly.
