This year, Iberia celebrates the 30 year anniversary of base maintenance services for the Airbus A320 family. On December 19th, 1990, Iberia received its first A320ÿSierra de Cazorla, which had its first C1 Check completed on 25th March 1992 in Iberia's Base Maintenance Hangars at La Mu¤oza.
30 years later, Iberia Maintenance has performed 4,000 heavy checks, including C-checks and 6 and 12 Years inspections to the A320 family aircraft. This figure includes Iberia, IAG group airlines aircraft, and multiple third-party customers tha have trusted their aircraft maintenance to Iberia Maintenance. The checks have been performed in the Madrid and Barcelona hangars.
Jorge Michalowski, Airframe Services Director at Iberia Maintenance, explained: "In 1992, Iberia Maintenance performed the first C-Check on an A320 family aircraft. And it was the first A320 received by Iberia calledÿSierra de Cazorla. At that time, and little by little, we set out on a path to position ourselves as a major maintenance service provider for the A320 familiy and this was possible thanks to the Iberia Maintenance team. We will continue the journe as we strive to be a European Reference Centre for the major maintenance of the A320 family".
