Adolfo Suárez Madrid Barajas Airport, commonly known as Madrid Barajas Airport, stands as the principal international airport serving Madrid, Spain. With a sprawling area of 3,050 hectares, it holds the distinction of being the second-largest airport in Europe in terms of physical size, following Paris–Charles de Gaulle Airport. In 2019, it facilitated the travel of 61.8 million passengers, making it not only the busiest airport in Spain but also the fifth-busiest in Europe. The airport’s strategic location, only 9 km from Madrid’s financial district and 13 km northeast of the historic center, positions it as a crucial gateway connecting Europe with Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula.
Established in 1931, Madrid Barajas Airport has evolved into a pivotal aviation center in Europe. Over the years, its growth has been marked by expansions, modernizations, and the construction of multiple terminals and runways. By the 1970s, the airport experienced a surge in traffic, reaching 4 million passengers. The ensuing years witnessed the construction of the international terminal (T1) and the introduction of shuttle services between Madrid and Barcelona. The 1982 FIFA World Cup spurred significant expansions and modernizations, setting the stage for continued development in the 1990s and early 2000s. Terminal 4, one of the world’s largest airport terminals, was inaugurated in 2006, along with two additional runways.
Madrid Barajas Airport’s facilities include five passenger terminals: T1, T2, T3, T4, and T4S. Terminal 4, designed by acclaimed architects, boasts an expansive area of 760,000 square meters and is equipped to handle 70 million passengers annually. The airport’s pivotal role in air travel is emphasized by its role as the primary hub and maintenance base for airlines like Iberia and Air Europa. Renowned for its efficiency and innovation, Madrid Barajas Airport continues to undergo enhancements, with plans to expand and renovate existing installations to increase its yearly capacity from 70 to 80 million passengers, bridging the architectural gap between original and newer terminals.
