Aena to Celebrate Commercial Excellence with Second Edition of Enjoy Aena Awards
- On Tuesday, the Catalan government authorized Spain’s airport operator Aena to invest 3.2 billion euros in enlarging Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport.
- This approval follows years of planning to extend a runway, add a satellite terminal, remodel terminals and parking, and include environmental measures.
- The runway extension of 500 metres will reach 3,160 metres total, allowing intercontinental flights and reducing noise, while restoring over 270 hectares in the Llobregat Delta.
- In 2024, the airport handled 55 million passengers, a 4.5% increase over 2019 that capped post-pandemic recovery and pushed capacity to its limit.
- The expansion aims to support Barcelona’s growth as a long-haul hub but faces criticism from those concerned about excess tourism and pollution in a city already at its limit.
