Madrid Barajas Airport

Madrid Barajas Airport (full name Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport) is the largest airport in Spain and the most important for the Spanish capital. There are two other airports in Madrid (Torrejon and Cuatro Vientos), but they are of less importance. It is a busy airport which processed more than 40 million passengers in 2015.

Expansions and improvements at the airport are always ongoing. Recently a runway, and a super modern terminal (T4) as well as a satellite terminal (T4S) were opened. With this, Madrid Barajas can grow to 70 million passengers per year. These new terminals are most important for intercontinental flights. There is an automatic train between T4 and T4S which leaves every two minutes during peak hours. A shuttle bus also goes to the older terminals.

Flights to and from European countries use Terminal 1 (not Iberia flights) or Terminal 2 (Iberia flights). Terminal 3 is used for domestic flights from Lagun Air. Besides intercontinental flights, T4 is also used for the companies of Oneworld, including British Airways.

The airport is 13 kilometers northeast of Madrid.
