Low-cost airline Ryanair has chosen Seville as the location for its new engine repair center, a €290 million project expected to create 600 direct jobs in the Andalusian capital.

This significant investment will materialize in a maintenance facility to be built on vacant land in the city's port. The center is projected to handle approximately 200 aircraft engines per year, reinforcing the company's commitment to the Sevillian capital.
In addition to the 600 direct jobs, the construction phase of the center will generate an extra 400 positions. The facilities will include areas for disassembly, inspection, repair, reassembly, and testing of engines, as well as a reception area.
The complex will also feature engine test cells, crucial for verifying the proper functioning of units after maintenance operations. Currently, Seville's regional government is fast-tracking the necessary planning approvals for the project.
This center is part of Ryanair's strategy to centralize engine maintenance, an initiative recently announced by the company's CEO, Michael O’Leary, in Paris.
