The airline has selected Iberia Maintenance after a demanding bidding process, in which the Spanish airline’s MRO business was the winner due to the excellent quality of its services.
The “C-checks” consist of the inspection, overhaul, maintenance and replacement of aircraft parts, and include preventive maintenance, identified as “C-check”. C-checks, which must be performed every 14-16 months, are considered the most thorough inspections in an aircraft’s maintenance program.
Iberia Maintenance is a leading provider of maintenance and repair services, with programs that meet the needs of each customer and state-of-the-art technological systems. At its facilities in Madrid and Barcelona, it has six hangars with 16 positions and the necessary workshops to carry out maintenance services, and all the management and logistics of the materials needed to overhaul the A320 aircraft and the engines with which they are equipped.
