Ryanair eyeing big engine MRO hub in Seville or Poland

Ryanair is considering a large engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility that could be built in Seville, Spain, or in Poland. The project would involve a substantial investment and would create hundreds of jobs while aiming to service around 200 aircraft engines per year once fully operational. Decision timing is reported as by year-end, with locations under evaluation and partners linked to Seville’s Port area and Spain’s aerospace sector.

What is Ryanair considering

Ryanair is exploring the construction of a major MRO hub focused on engine maintenance and related services. The facility would be designed to inspect, repair, assemble, test, and service aircraft engines and components, with capacity projected at about 200 engines per year after startup. The plan would mark a significant expansion of Ryanair’s technical operations and could be a centerpiece of its industrial investment in the region.

Who could be affected

Direct impacts include Ryanair’s workforce and suppliers in the chosen location. The plan is expected to create roughly 950 jobs in total, with around 600 being direct positions linked to the facility itself, plus additional roles during construction. Indirect effects would include opportunities in the regional aerospace ecosystem, such as training, maintenance services, and related businesses.

Practical next steps for readers

Key questions to watch: where will the MRO hub be built (Seville’s Port area in Spain or a site in Poland)? what is the timeline for construction and operation? what are the regulatory or permitting steps. Who are potential local partners? If the project proceeds, local workers and suppliers may need new training and certifications, and communities could see related economic activity during construction and operation.
