Pratt & Whitney Power Systems announced today at the POWER-GEN
Europe exhibition that Iberia Maintenance, the Maintenance and
Engineering division of Iberia Airlines, has been selected to provide
depot support services for the fleet of GG8 gas generators in the
European region. The facility, located in Madrid, Spain, joins a network
of worldwide depot facilities for P&W Power Systems.
The Maintenance & Engineering division of Iberia Airlines is well
known for its experience as a world-class aircraft engine repair
facility, specializing in the repair of several types of engines,
including Pratt & Whitney’s successful JT8 engine from which the GG8
was derived. Iberia was selected with the European customer in mind,
based on its ideal location for the European customer base, and its
extensive in-house component repair and technical capabilities.
Under the terms of the license agreement, Iberia will deal directly with
Pratt & Whitney Power Systems’ customers for depot services.
Customers will interact directly with Iberia for everything from
planning shop visits, logistics, and work scope, to reports and
invoicing. PWPS will support Iberia with certain component repairs, all
spare parts, technical publications, and engineering services. The
Iberia facility is expected to begin servicing GG8 gas generators before
the end of the year.
