 **RYANAIR ANNOUNCES £40M EXPANSION AT PRESTWICK MAINTENANCE FACILITY**

 **450 HIGHLY SKILLED ENGINEER & MECHANIC JOBS, INCLUDING 60 APPRENTICESHIP ROLES**

Ryanair, Europe's No.1 airline, today (Fri, 20 Mar) announced a £40M expansion of its maintenance facility at Prestwick Airport, which will see the construction of a new 11,938 sqm 4-bay heavy maintenance hangar and additional component workshops.

This major development will expand Ryanair's existing Prestwick operation from 6 to 10 bays, making it Ryanair's largest heavy maintenance hangar, and further strengthening Prestwick's position as a key aircraft maintenance and training hub within Ryanair's network.

Ryanair's new £40M investment supports over 1,200 highly skilled engineering and mechanic jobs in Ayrshire, providing significant long-term employment and training opportunities for local talent.

This latest project builds on Ryanair's recent £5M investment in its Prestwick Training Academy, opened in October 2024, which is delivering 500 jobs and industry leading training for engineers, mechanics and support staff to service Ryanair's growing fleet as it grows to 800 aircraft and 300M passengers by 2034.

 **Ryanair CEO, Eddie Wilson, said:**

 *"As Europe's No.1 airline, we are pleased to announce a further £40 million investment at Prestwick Airport, expanding our existing maintenance facility from 6 to 10 bays and creating 450 new highly skilled engineering and mechanic jobs, including 60 apprenticeships.*

 *This new state-of-the-art, 4-bay hangar and component workshops will make Prestwick our largest heavy maintenance facility, and a key part of how we will maintain and support our fleet as we continue to grow to 800 aircraft and 300 million passengers by 2034.*

 *Today's announcement builds on the £5M investment and 500 jobs delivered with our Prestwick Training Academy, opened in October 2024. Together, these investments underline Ryanair's long-term commitment to Scotland, to high-quality engineering and mechanic jobs, and to developing the next generation of aviation talent here in Ayrshire.*

 *We thank DFM Forbes and the Scottish Govt, the UK Govt, South Ayrshire Council, Scottish Enterprise, and Prestwick Airport for their support and partnership on this expansion. Their focussed approach in backing this project has been crucial in enabling us to grow Prestwick into a major heavy maintenance and training hub that will deliver skilled careers and economic benefits for many years to come."*
