Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are
the older terminals. They are all right next to each other.
Terminal 4
Construction
of terminal 4 was finished around 2006. The
terminal is north
of the older terminals and runways of the aiport. Terminal 4 has a
satellite terminal and a new runway to the north was also added. It's
quite a distance away from
the other 3 terminals. Terminal 4 has it's own
underground station.
While in 1998 the airport handled around 25 million passengers a year
in 1998, traffic peaked in 2007 with over 52 million passengers. This
thanks to the added terminal 4. It seems that the airport in 2009 has a
capacity for even more passengers, up to 70 million. Which makes it of
course the largest airport in Spain.
Terminals 1, 2 and 3 have easy access to the Madrid
Metro. These are the older
terminals. They are all right next to each other.
