Madrid’s Barajas Airport is preparing for a major reconstruction to be completed by 2031, transforming it into Europe’s largest airport. The project includes expanding the terminals, constructing a new technology building and modernising other facilities to increase capacity by 28%.
After the reconstruction, the airport is expected to handle around 90 million passengers a year, exceeding the volumes of such busy airports as Istanbul, Heathrow, Charles de Gaulle and Schiphol. This will help improve service for travellers and make Madrid’s Barajas Airport a strategic transport hub in Europe.
