Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport[1][5](IATA:BCN,ICAO:LEBL) (Catalan:Aeroport Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat,Spanish:Aeropuerto Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat), and also known asBarcelona-El Prat Airport,is aninternational airportlocated 15 km (9.3 mi) southwest[6][7]of the centre ofBarcelona,lying in the municipalities ofEl Prat de Llobregat,Viladecans,andSant Boi,inCatalonia,Spain.

It is the second-largest and second-busiest airport in Spain, the busiest international airport ofCatalonia(largely surpassingGirona,ReusandLleida), and thesixth busiest in Europe.In 2019, Barcelona Airport handled a record 52,686,314 passengers, up 5.0% from 2018. It is a hub forLevelandVueling,and a focus city forAir Europa,Iberia,EasyJetandRyanair.

The Barcelona–Madridair shuttleservice, known as "Pont Aeri" (inCatalan) or "Puente Aéreo" (inSpanish), literally "Air Bridge", was theworld's busiest routeuntil 2008, with the highest number of flight operations (971 per week) in 2007.[8]The schedule has been reduced since February 2008, when aMadrid–Barcelona high-speed rail linewas opened, covering the distance in 2 hours 30 minutes, and quickly became popular.[9]

The airport was renamed by the centralGovernment of Spainto its current name on 21 December 2018 in honour of the first Catalan president under the currentSpanish Constitution,Josep Tarradellas- a move widely criticised by theGeneralitat de Catalunyaand separatists due to non-consultation.[10]

History

[edit]
Airport layout

Barcelona's first airfield, located at El Remolar, began operations in 1916. However, it did not have good expansion prospects, so a new airport at El Prat opened in 1918. The first plane was aLatécoèreSalmson 300 which arrived fromToulousewith final destinationCasablanca.The airport was used as headquarters of the Aeroclub of Catalonia and the base for theSpanish Navy'sZeppelinfleet. Scheduled commercial service began in 1927 with anIberiaservice to MadridCuatro Vientos Airport.This was Iberia's first route. During the time of theSecond Spanish RepublicEl Prat was one of the bases ofLAPE(Líneas Aéreas Postales Españolas).[11]

In 1948, arunwaywas built (now called runway 07-25); in the same year the first overseas service was operated byPan American World AirwaystoNew York City,using aLockheed Constellation.Between 1948 and 1952, a second runway was constructed (runway 16–34), perpendicular to the previous, also taxiways were constructed and a terminal to accommodate passengers. In 1963, the airport reached one million passengers a year. A newcontrol towerwas built in 1965. In 1968, a new terminal was opened, which still exists and is in use as what is now Terminal 2B.[12]

On 3 August 1970,Pan American World Airwaysinaugurated regular service between Barcelona,Lisbonand New York, operated by aBoeing 747.[citation needed]On 4 November of the same year, Iberia began the "Air-shuttle" service between Barcelona andMadrid–Barajas.A few years later, in 1976, a terminal was built specifically for Iberia's air-shuttle service and a terminal exclusively for cargo, an annexed mail service and an aircraft ramp for air cargo. In 1977, the airport handled over 5 million passengers annually.[citation needed]

From the late seventies to the early nineties, the airport was stalled in traffic and investments until the1992 Summer Olympicsheld in Barcelona. El Prat underwent a major development consisting of the modernization and expansion of the existing terminal, which became known as Terminal B, and the construction of two further terminals flanking that, known as Terminals A and C respectively.[12]

The new Terminal 1 was inaugurated on 16 June 2009, covering 545,000 m2(5,866,331 sq ft). 70% of today's flights operate from Terminal 1. The old Terminals A, B and C are now known as Terminals 2A, 2B and 2C.

Due to the strong drop in air traffic after 1999 and the crisis in the aviation sector in 2001 many charter operations fromGironaandReuswere diverted to El Prat, which helped the airport to survive the crisis.[citation needed]

On 1 February 2014, Barcelona–El Prat was the first Spanish airport to receive a daily flight with the AirbusA380-800,on the Emirates route toDubai International Airport.Emirates also offers a second daily flight, also operated by the A380-800.

International Airlines Group (IAG)announced in December 2016 flights from Barcelona to the US, Latin America and Asia for the summer of 2017. IAG, formed by British Airways, Iberia, Vueling and Aer Lingus, createdLevel,the second airline, after Norwegian, launching low-cost long haul flights from the Catalan city.[13]They announced flights from June 2017 toLos Angeles,Oakland,Punta CanaandBuenos Aires.[relevant?]

On 14 October 2019, the airport was thefirst targetof protesters after the sentencing of thetrial of Catalonia independence leaders.In the morning, called upon byDemocratic Tsunamithousands flocked all the accesses and concourses disrupting normal operations.Catalan Policeordered the closing of all transportation services (bus,MetroandRail) to avoid further arrivals of demonstrators. The blockade of the main access road (C-32 highway) with people walking between the terminals and city center made Taxi and other services unavailable. Deployment ofriot policefromCivil Guard,National PoliceandMossos d'Esquadrato evict protesters lead to massive confrontations leaving dozens injured. Using social media the organizers called off the action by night time but disruption continued. More than a hundred flights were cancelled during the 14th of October and twenty more were announced for the next day by the main operator,Vueling.[14][15][16][17]

Operations

[edit]
Barcelona Airport in May 2014

Most of the traffic at Barcelona Airport is domestic and European, in which Vueling has an operational base. Intercontinental connections have not generated a significant amount of passenger traffic during the last years. In the early twenty-first century the airport passenger carried numbers and the number of operations increased significantly.

Low-cost airlinetraffic grew significantly, especially after the creation of operating bases by Vueling and Clickair at the airport. Vueling and Clickair merged in July 2009, operating under the Vueling name. Other low-cost airlines operate from the airport, includingRyanair,EasyJet,Norwegian Air International,EasyJet Switzerland,Wizz AirandTransavia.A new base was established at the airport in September 2010.

The airport has 3 runways, two parallel, nominated 06L/24R and 06R/24L (the latter opened in 2004), and a cross runway 02/20. There are two terminals: T2, which is the sum of the previous Terminals A, B and C, located on the north side of the airport and T1, on the west side, which opened on 16 June 2009. As of 2014the two terminals had a combined total of 268 check-in counters and 64 boarding gates. Operations at the airport are restricted exclusively toInstrument flight rules(IFR) flights, except for sanitary, emergency and governmentVFRflights.

A plan for expansion (Plan Barcelona)[18]was completed in 2009, adding a third terminal building (also designed by Ricardo Bofill) and control tower. An additional runway (07R/25L) was also built. The airport became capable of handling 55 million passengers annually (up from 33 million in 2007). The airport expanded in area from 8.45 to 15.33 square kilometres (3.26 to 5.92 sq mi).[19]Further expansion was planned to be finished by 2012, with a new satellite terminal to raise capacity to 70 million passengers annually, this is better explained in Terminal T1 section.

The airport is the subject of a political discussion over management and control between theGeneralitat of Cataloniaand theSpanish Government,which has involvedAENA(airport manager) and various airlines, Iberia and Spanair mainly. Part of the controversy is about the benefits that the airport generates, which are used in maintenance and investments in other airports in the network of AENA and government investments in other economic areas.[by whom?]

Terminal 1

[edit]

A new Terminal 1, designed byRicardo Bofill Taller de Arquitecturawas inaugurated on 16 June 2009. Theairport terminalhas an area of 548,000 m2(5,900,000 sq ft), an aircraft ramp of 600,000 m2(6,500,000 sq ft), 13,000 new parking spaces and 45 new gates expandable to 60. This terminal is also capable of handling large aircraft like the Airbus A380-800 or Boeing 747-8I.

The terminal handles bothSchengenand non-Schengen flights. It is split into 5 Modules with Module A handling flights to Madrid, Module B handling Schengen flights, Module C handling Air Nostrum flights, Module D handling non-Schengen European flights and Module E handling non-Schengen non-European flights.

Its facilities include:

  • 258 check-in counters
  • 60 jetways (some are prepared for theA380,with double jetways)
  • 15 baggage carousels (one new carousel is equivalent to four carousels in the old terminal)
  • 12,000 parking spaces, in addition to the 12,000 already in terminal 2

The forecast is that the airport will be able to handle 55 million passengers annually —as opposed to the 30 million people before its construction— and will reach 90 operations an hour.

The extension of the airport with a total investment of €5.1 billion in the future[when?]will include a new satellite terminal and refurbishment of existing terminals. The civil engineering phase of the South Terminal had a budget of €1 billion.

It is also planned the construction of a satellite terminal —T1S or Terminal 1 Satèl·lit, in Catalan— considering that the airport is on the verge of overcrowding because terminals cannot handle all passengers because of space shortage. This terminal will be at 1,5 kilometres from the current T1 terminal, behind the 02-20, transversal, runway. With this action, the airport will be able to increase its passenger capacity to 70 million people annually.

There are two lounges located in Terminal 1.

Terminal 2

[edit]

Terminal 2 is divided into three linked sections, known as Terminal 2A, 2B and 2C. Terminal 2B is the oldest part of the complex still in use, dating back to 1968. Terminals 2A and 2C were added in order to expand the airport capacity before the arrival of the1992 Summer Olympicsheld in the city.[12]This expansion was also designed byRicardo Bofill.

This terminal is mostly occupied by low-cost airlines, although there are some full-service airlines which also use this terminal.

Following the opening of Terminal 1 in 2009, Terminal 2 became almost empty until the airport authorities lowered landing fees to attract low-cost and regional carriers to fill the terminal. Whilst this has helped, the complex is nowhere near full capacity and Terminal 2A is currently unused for departures. Terminal 2C is used only byEasyJetandEasyJet Switzerlandflights, with flights to the UK and other non-Schengen destinations using gates M, whilst flights to destinations in the Schengen area use gates R. Terminal 2B is mostly used byRyanairand others, like Transavia. And T2A is adapted for large airplanes, such asB777.The terminal is also split into gate areas, where flights to Schengen destinations use gates U and flights to non Schengen destinations use gates W and Y.
