The Spanish MRO's winning candidacy was rooted in its comprehensive Sustainable Strategy, which includes three key objectives: 

• Scope 1: Utilization of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in the engine test bench, resulting in a reduction of CO2 emissions by 130 tonnes of CO2 in 2024. 
• Scope 2: Commitment to reduce energy consumption by 20% by 2025 compared to 2022, while generating 10% of that energy through solar panels and using 100% renewable energy, which is already being utilised. 
• Scope 3: Enhancing internal repair capabilities to achieve 40% of repairs in-house. For outsourced parts repaired by vendors, Iberia Maintenance has an agreement with a logistics provider committed to reducing the carbon footprint by 20%. 

This prestigious award is a recognition of Iberia Maintenance's dedication to innovation and the adoption of technologies that contribute to more sustainable aviation and MRO sectors.
