Iberia today announced organisational changes in its Maintenance business. Enrique Robledo has been appointed new director of this business, which provides services to around a hundred clients, including IAG airlines.
Robledo, who will take up his new post on 17 March, is currently Iberia’s director at Madrid-Barajas Airport, a role that will be taken on provisionally from that date by the current Director of Airport Services, José Luis de Luna.
Enrique Robledo is an aeronautical engineer with a PhD in Psychology and a master's degree from IE. He began his career at Airbus and British Aerospace, and since 1999 he has been with Iberia, where he has held various responsibilities in the Maintenance business, first as Head of Materials Planning and then as Deputy Manager of the Engine Workshop.
Robledo will replace Andy Best, who has been Head of Iberia Maintenance for the past two years, and will take on the same role at British Airways from 17 April. Best has led an all-encompassing business and cultural transformation, driving sustainable business growth and strengthening the positioning of Iberia's Maintenance business in the market and within the IAG Group.
The changeover at Iberia Maintenance comes at a time when this business is contemplating the main challenges of achieving greater international projection to become a benchmark supplier in southern Europe, while it is in the process of obtaining the certification that will allow its Engine Workshop to service LEAP model engines, with which the new Airbus A320neo aircraft are equipped.
