Ryanair has progressed with plans to build a major €290m engine maintenance centre at the Port of Seville after securing a Unified Environmental Authorisation from the Andalusian regional government. The project involves an investment of more than €290m and could create around 950 jobs including 600 direct positions. Ryanair aims to decide the location before the end of 2026 with operations targeted for 2029.
The facility is designed to span over 94,000 square metres within the Port of Seville’s Free Trade Zone. The complex will feature multiple hangars capable of overhauling up to 200 turbofans annually and will handle the full cycle of disassembly, cleaning, testing and reassembly for Ryanair’s Boeing 737 fleet.
Seville is competing with sites in Poland and a heavily incentivised £400m proposal in Belfast which features a £67m funding package from Stormont. The project is part of a broader operational shift by Ryanair to bring its aircraft engine maintenance in-house by 2029.
