Madrid-Barajas Airport (T4 Station)

MadridBarajas Airport (Aeropuerto de Madrid-Barajas) is Spain's busiest airport, andis the main hub ofIberia Airlines. It consequently serves as the main gateway to theIberian peninsula from Europe, America and the rest of the world. Current passenger

volumes range upwards of 49.8 million passengers per year, making it the country'slargest and busiest airport, and in 2009 it was the world's 11th busiest airport[125] andEurope's fourth busiest airport. Given annual increases close to 10%, a new fourthterminal has been constructed. It has significantly reduced delays and doubled thecapacity of the airport to more than 70 million passengers per year. Two additionalrunways have also been constructed, making Barajas a fully operational four-runwayairport.

The airport is located within the city limits of Madrid, at 9 km (5.6 mi) from the city'sfinancial district and 13 km (8.1 mi) northeast of the Puerta del Sol, Madrid's historiccentre. The airport name derives from the adjacent district ofBarajas, which has its own

metro station on the same rail line serving the airport.

The Minister of Transport of the Community of Madrid, Manuel Lamela, announced in2007 that the city will also be served by two new airports which are expected to be fullyoperative in 2016, the first of which will be located in Campo Real, it will be initially beused for cargo flights, but also as hub for low-cost carriers, and the second one,expected to be built between the two municipalities ofEl lamoandNavalcarnero,which will only take over the routes operating in Cuatro Vientos Airport (Aeropuerto deCuatro Vientos).

Madrid Metro Map

Spain's railway system, theRed Nacional de Ferrocarriles Espaoles (RENFE)operates the vast majority of Spain's railways.Cercanas Madrid is the commuter railservice that serves Madrid and its metropolitan area. It is operated by Cercanas Renfe,the commuter rail division of Renfe. The total length spans 339.1 km. Main railterminals are Atocha in the south and Chamartn in the north.

The most important project in the next decade is the Spanish high speed rail network,Alta Velocidad Espaola AVE. Currently, an ambitious plan includes the construction

of a 7,000-kilometre (4,300 mi) network, centred on Madrid. The overall goal is to haveall important provincial cities be no more than 4 hours away from Madrid, and no morethan 6 hours away from Barcelona. As of 2008, AVEhigh-speed trains link Atochastation to Seville, Mlaga, Crdoba, Ciudad Real and Toledo in the south and toCuenca, Albacete, Valencia,Zaragoza, Lleida, Tarragona and Barcelona in the east.AVE trains also arrive from Valladolid in the north.

addition of a loop serving suburbs to Madrid's south-west "Metrosur", it is now thesecond largest metro system in Western Europe, second only to London's Underground.In 2007 Madrid's metro system was expanded and it currently runs over 283 kilometres(176 mi) of line. The region of Madrid is also served by an extensive commuter railnetwork of 370 kilometres (230 mi) called Cercanas.

The system is the sixth longest metro in the world after London, New York, Moscow,Seoul and Shanghai, though Madrid is approximately the fiftieth most populousmetropolitan area in the world. Its fast growth in the last 20 years has also put it amongthe fastest growing networks in the world, on par with the Shanghai Metro and theBeijing Subway. Unlike normal Spanish road and rail traffic, Madrid Metro trains useleft-hand running on some lines due to historical reasons.
