Plans have been unveiled to expand Spain’s Adolfo Suárez-Madrid Barajas Airport – the capital’s only international airport – with the aim of enhancing its role as Europe’s primary gateway to Latin America.

Operations at the expanded airport – Spain’s busiest – are also expected to bolster the country’s connection to Asia.

Spain’s Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, announced an investment initiative for the airport, potentially totalling €2.4 billion (US$2.6 billion), saying, “This will be the airport with the greatest growth potential in Europe.”

The sum would represent the largest infusion of funds into Spanish airport infrastructure in the past decade.
