SEVILLA, 26 (EUROPA PRESS)
The Junta de Andalucía, through the Ministry of Sustainability and Environment, has granted the Simplified Unified Environmental Authorization (AAUS) to the project of "Negocios Raiseber S.L", a company linked to Ryanair, to build a center intended for the "repair, review, and testing of aeronautical engines" in the Port of Sevilla.
As stated in the Official Bulletin of the Junta de Andalucía (BOJA), consulted by Europa Press and reported by El Correo de Andalucía, the regional administration has concluded that the environmental impact of the project is "compatible and acceptable" in its ordinary operating regime. Therefore, it can advance in its design, construction, and operation phase as long as the conditions set to "ensure the good state" of the natural environment are met.
In this regard, the resolution incorporates various "preventive and corrective measures" related to the emission of polluting particles, noise, the protection of vegetation and fauna, as well as waste management. Likewise, it expressly prohibits the carrying out of "any type of discharge" in the waterways that cross the area of action.
The future Ryanair plant anticipates an annual capacity of 200 turbofan engine maintenance events, which require specific facilities, highly qualified personnel, specialized inspection, repair, and testing equipment, in addition to a "high logistical coordination" to ensure the operability of the aircraft.
According to the Junta, the industrial complex will involve an investment of 290 million euros and will have a large maintenance hangar, an engine test bench, storage areas, an area for fuel storage and distribution, and various auxiliary systems.
The business plan contemplates the creation of 950 jobs during the operational phase, of which 600 will be direct, as well as about 400 jobs during construction. In the opinion of the regional administration, the initiative will help strengthen job opportunities in the province of Sevilla and promote the generation of "qualified and stable" employment.
However, the CEO of Ryanair DAC, Eddie Wilson, recalled last July that the company will decide "before the end of the year" whether it will ultimately build this aeronautical facility in Sevilla or choose to locate it in an alternative site in Poland.
