Project Description
When Barajas Airport Terminal 4 building was opened in 2006 it effectively doubled the aircraft and passenger capacity at Spain’s largest international airport. Not only was there another major terminal building (two actually as there’s also a smaller satellite terminal building, T4S), but another two runways were added. Now aircrafts take off and land during the day at an average rate of one every 30 seconds. Terminal 4 ranks as one of the world’s largest airport terminals, measured by building area. The airport as a whole is the 4th largest in Europe, and the 10th largest in the world.
