Acerca de Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport

El Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas es el principal aeropuerto internacional de España y el más transitado de la Península Ibérica. Situado a 12 kilómetros al noreste del centro de Madrid, el aeropuerto se inauguró en 1931 y fue rebautizado en 2014 en honor al expresidente del Gobierno español. MAD gestiona más de 60 millones de pasajeros al año a través de cuatro terminales. La Terminal 4 y su edificio satélite T4S, inaugurados en 2006, constituyen un hito arquitectónico diseñado por Richard Rogers y Antonio Lamela, con un emblemático techo ondulado de bambú y coloridas columnas estructurales. El aeropuerto es el centro de operaciones de Iberia y su matriz IAG, así como de Air Europa, y es la principal puerta de acceso entre Europa y Latinoamérica gracias a los vínculos históricos y lingüísticos de España con la región. Madrid-Barajas ofrece una de las redes de rutas a destinos de Centroamérica y Sudamérica más extensas de cualquier aeropuerto europeo. La línea 8 del metro conecta la Terminal 4 con el centro de Madrid en unos 30 minutos, y el tren de cercanías ofrece acceso ferroviario adicional. El aeropuerto cuenta con cuatro pistas en configuración dual paralela. La posición de MAD como centro del sur de Europa lo convierte además en un punto de conexión natural para el tráfico entre Europa, África y las Américas.
