Madrid Airport
Madrid's Barajas airport lies 13km to the northeast of Madrid's city limits.
There is a fine transport system between the airport and the city.
On February 5th 2006 the new Terminal 4 at Madrid-Barajas Airport was opened
making Madrid one of the world's most modern airports. This expansion includes
two new buildings (T4 and T4S), a car park, two new runways, new access roads
and many more services including additional shopping and entertainment
facilities and massage areas.
The terminal building (T4) and its satellite (T4S) are superbly designed with
maximum sunlight a key feature. It will be able to handle 35 million passengers
a year, more than 10,000 during peak hours.
The new terminal has 39 aircraft stands adjacent to the terminal building made
up of three large modules on six levels. The first block is for check-in, the
second for security control and the third for boarding of domestic and Schengen
country flights.
The Satellite Building (T4S) has been built to enable more efficient
international boardingand disembarking operations in the new T4 and it has more than 26 aircraft
stands with air-bridge access. It is located between the runways and its
architectural style and cutting-edge design are identical to those of the new
terminal.
The transport of passengers to and from the T4 and the T4S is conducted by means
of an Automated Passenger Transport System. This system consists of a driverless
train that covers the distance the 2km distance between the two terminals in
just 4
minutes. It will operate 24 hours a day and it will run every 2 minutes during
peak hours, making 30 second stops at each station. In 1 hour, it can transport
up to 13,000 travellers.

roads connect directly to the departures and arrivals areas of the new terminal.

Madrid Airport Transfers
Transport from the airport is available by shuttle bus, taxi, bus and
underground. We wouldn't recommend car rental as driving in Madrid can be a
shock to the system and parking is practically impossible except for in
expensive long stays in underground car parks.
On arrival at Madrid airport there are several options for travelling into
the city centre including private transfers, shuttle bus, taxi, underground and
special airport bus. Take a look at our Madrid
Airport Transfers page for full details.
