International Aerospace Coatings (IAC), an aircraft painting and coating services company, plans to expand at Spain’s Teruel Airport (TEV) by building an additional widebody hangar next to its existing facility.
The project responds to rising demand for IAC’s paint services. The new hangar will feature state-of-the-art equipment, including extraction pumps and a high-tech air-recirculation system. Groundbreaking is set for August 2025, with operations starting in the third quarter of 2026.
This facility marks the 21st in IAC’s global network and will increase its total paint lines from 30 to 32. It will create about 60 new full-time jobs, raising IAC’s employment at Teruel to more than 130 people. The investment totals 20 million euros.
IAC Chief Executive Martin O’Connell stated the hangar will elevate the scale and quality of services for OEM and airline customers facing fleet growth.
IAC, headquartered in Ireland and the US, leads in aircraft painting, interiors, and graphics, operating facilities across Europe and North America.
