Aena plans EUR3.2bn expansion of Barcelona-El Prat Josep Tarradellas Airport
Aena announced (10-Jun-2025) plans to invest approximately EUR3.2 billion to expand Barcelona-El Prat Josep Tarradellas Airport. Details of the project include:
- Remodelling of Terminal 1;
- Remodelling of Terminal 2;
- Extension of the sea runway;
- New Satellite Terminal;
- Improvements associated with the sea runway;
- Work on the parking lots of both terminals.
The project guarantees minimal environmental impact, including measures such as the preservation of La Ricarda lagoon, non-impact of El Remolar outside the airport perimeter and reduction of noise impact on neighbouring towns. The agreement also includes compensatory measures aimed at improving the Llobregat Delta's natural areas. [more - original PR - Spanish]
