| Madrid Barajas Airport Opening Spanish Prime Minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero on Saturday 4 February 2006 opened a fourth terminal at Madrid Barajas airport. The New Terminal Area, designed by a consortium of Richard Rogers Partnership, the Spanish practice Estudio Lamela and two engineering companies TPS and Initec, will accommodate between 65 and 70 million passengers per annum. Passenger numbers are expected to outstrip Schiphol in the Netherlands, Europe’s second largest airport, in five years time. With a total area of 1, 200, 000 sq m, the NAT is one of the largest buildings in Europe and will have a significant urban, economic and social impact on both Madrid and Spain itself. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
