The company's official working language is Spanish, but English is widely used in technical documentation and in many operational areas, making it accessible for international professionals.
Iberia has its own MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) division with large facilities in Madrid (La Muñoza), offering specialized roles for aircraft maintenance engineers and technicians.
The company runs a specific training program for new maintenance technicians (Programa de Formación), starting in October, which can be an entry point for international candidates.
Many roles, especially in engineering and maintenance, require EASA Part-66 licenses or equivalent certifications, which are internationally recognized and can be a valuable asset for professionals.
