Background Information
Barcelona Airport began in 1918 and began commercial operations in 1927 with Iberia’s first route. From the 40's to the 70's a series of development projects were enacted, building runways, a control tower and two terminals that saw the airport handling over 5 million passengers annually. In 2006 a new terminal was opened that now manages the majority of flights from the airport. From February 2014, Barcelona was the first Spanish airport to receive a daily Airbus A380 operated by Emirates on its routes to Dubai International Airport, an important milestone in its history. Nowadays, the airport remains popular for domestic and European travelers, and has seen an increase in budget airlines operating from the airport.
The two terminals were designed by famous Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill and, alongside the sort of amenities and facilities you would expect of a major European hub, features a range of local Spanish art.
