==History==
===Foundation and early years===
Barcelona's first airfield, located at El Remolar, began operations in 1916. However, it did not have good expansion prospects, so a new airport at El Prat opened in 1918. The first plane was a [[Groupe Latécoère|Latécoère]] Salmson 300 which arrived from [[Toulouse]] with final destination [[Casablanca]]. The airport was used as headquarters of the Aeroclub of Catalonia and the base for the [[Spanish Navy]]'s [[Zeppelin]] fleet. Scheduled commercial service began in 1927 with an [[Iberia Airlines|Iberia]] service to Madrid [[Cuatro Vientos Airport]]. This was Iberia's first route. During the time of the [[Second Spanish Republic]] El Prat was one of the bases of [[LAPE]] ''(Líneas Aéreas Postales Españolas)''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://airline-memorabilia.blogspot.com/2011/04/alas-de-la-republica-classa-lape-1934.html|title=Airline memorabilia: Alas de la República: CLASSA, LAPE (1934)|date=14 April 2011|access-date=1 June 2015}}</ref>
In 1948, a [[runway]] was built (now called runway 07-25); in the same year the first overseas service was operated by [[Pan American World Airways]] to [[New York City]], using a [[Lockheed Constellation]]. Between 1948 and 1952, a second runway was constructed (runway 16–34), perpendicular to the previous, also taxiways were constructed and a terminal to accommodate passengers. In 1963, the airport reached one million passengers a year. A new [[control tower]] was built in 1965. In 1968, a new terminal was opened, which still exists and is in use as what is now Terminal 2B.<ref name="aenahist">{{cite web | url = http://www.aena.es/csee/Satellite/Aeropuerto-Barcelona/en/Page/1045569607439/History.html | title = History – Barcelona–El Prat Airport | publisher = aena | access-date = 12 December 2014}}</ref>
On 3 August 1970, [[Pan American World Airways]] inaugurated regular service between Barcelona, [[Lisbon]] and New York, operated by a [[Boeing 747]].{{Citation needed|date=April 2016}} On 4 November of the same year, Iberia began the "Air-shuttle" service between Barcelona and [[Madrid–Barajas Airport|Madrid–Barajas]]. A few years later, in 1976, a terminal was built specifically for Iberia's air-shuttle service and a terminal exclusively for cargo, an annexed mail service and an aircraft ramp for air cargo. In 1977, the airport handled over 5&nbsp;million passengers annually. {{Citation needed|date=April 2016}}
From the late seventies to the early nineties, the airport was stalled in traffic and investments until the [[1992 Summer Olympics]] held in Barcelona. El Prat underwent a major development consisting of the modernization and expansion of the existing terminal, which became known as Terminal B, and the construction of two further terminals flanking that, known as Terminals A and C respectively.<ref name="aenahist"/>
===Development since 2010===
The new Terminal 1 was inaugurated on 16 June 2009, covering {{convert|545000|m²|0|abbr=on}}. 70% of today's flights operate from Terminal 1. The old Terminals A, B and C are now known as Terminals 2A, 2B and 2C.{{cn|date=October 2024}}
Due to the strong drop in air traffic after 1999 and the crisis in the aviation sector in 2001 many charter operations from [[Girona Airport|Girona]] and [[Reus Airport|Reus]] were diverted to El Prat, which helped the airport to survive the crisis.{{citation needed|date=February 2023}}
On 1 February 2014, Barcelona–El Prat was the first Spanish airport to receive a daily flight with the Airbus [[Airbus A380|A380-800]], on the Emirates route to [[Dubai International Airport]]. Emirates also offers a second daily flight, also operated by the A380-800.{{cn|date=October 2024}}
[[International Airlines Group|International Airlines Group (IAG)]] announced in December 2016 flights from Barcelona to the US, Latin America and Asia for the summer of 2017. IAG, formed by British Airways, Iberia, Vueling and Aer Lingus, created [[Level (airline)|Level]], the second airline, after Norwegian, launching low-cost long haul flights from the Catalan city.<ref name="La Vanguardia">{{cite web|url=https://www.lavanguardia.com/economia/20161222/412792292014/iag-vuelos-low-cost-el-prat-largo-recorrido.html|title=IAG operará vuelos 'low cost' de largo radio desde El Prat a partir de junio|date=22 December 2016|website=La Vanguardia}}</ref> They announced flights from June 2017 to [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]], [[Oakland International Airport|Oakland]], [[Punta Cana International Airport|Punta Cana]] and [[Ministro Pistarini International Airport|Buenos Aires]].{{Relevance inline|date=June 2017}}
On 14 October 2019, the airport was the [[2019-2020 Catalan protests|first target]] of protesters after the sentencing of the [[trial of Catalonia independence leaders]]. In the morning, called upon by [[Democratic Tsunami]] thousands flocked all the accesses and concourses disrupting normal operations. [[Catalan Police]] ordered the closing of all transportation services (bus, [[Barcelona Metro line 9|Metro]] and [[Airport (Rodalies de Catalunya)|Rail]]) to avoid further arrivals of demonstrators. The blockade of the main access road ([[C-32 highway (Spain)|C-32 highway]]) with people walking between the terminals and city center made Taxi and other services unavailable. Deployment of [[riot police]] from [[Civil Guard (Spain)|Civil Guard]], [[National Police Corps|National Police]] and [[Mossos d'Esquadra]] to evict protesters lead to massive confrontations leaving dozens injured. Using social media the organizers called off the action by night time but disruption continued. More than a hundred flights were cancelled during the 14th of October and twenty more were announced for the next day by the main operator, [[Vueling]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Continúan las cancelaciones en el Prat: estos son los aviones que se quedan en tierra hoy |url=https://www.elconfidencial.com/espana/cataluna/2019-10-15/vuelos-cancelados-salida-llegada-el-prat-15-o_2282815/ |access-date=21 July 2021 |work=El Confidencial |date=15 October 2019 |language=es}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Las protestas independentistas colapsan los accesos al aeropuerto de El Prat |url=https://www.canarias7.es/nacional/las-protestas-independentistas-colapsan-los-accesos-al-aeropuerto-de-el-prat-KH8081480 |access-date=21 July 2021 |work=Canarias7 |agency=EFE |date=15 October 2019 |location=Barcelona |language=es}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Protests in Spain leave at least 37 injured, dozens of flights canceled in Barcelona |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/protests-in-spain-today-at-least-37-injured-flights-canceled-in-barcelona-as-activists-clash-with-police-2019-10-14/ |access-date=21 July 2021 |work=CBS News |date=14 October 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=14 October 2019 |title=Tsunami Democratic desconvoca la movilización en el Aeropuerto de Barcelona |language=spanish |work=[[Europa Press (news agency)|Europa Press]] |location=El Prat de Llobregat |url=https://www.europapress.es/nacional/noticia-tsunami-democratic-desconvoca-movilizacion-aeropuerto-barcelona-20191014222119.html |access-date=2 September 2022}}</ref>
==Operations==
[[File:Barcelona Airport (38923117160) (cropped).jpg|thumb|Barcelona Airport in May 2014]]
===Airlines===
Most of the traffic at Barcelona Airport is domestic and European, in which [[Vueling]] has an operational base. Intercontinental connections have not generated a significant amount of passenger traffic during the last years. In the early twenty-first century the airport passenger carried numbers and the number of operations increased significantly.{{cn|date=October 2024}}
[[Low-cost airline]] traffic grew significantly, especially after the creation of operating bases by Vueling and [[Clickair]] at the airport. Vueling and Clickair merged in July 2009, operating under the Vueling name. Other low-cost airlines operate from the airport, including [[Ryanair]], [[EasyJet]], [[Norwegian Air International]], [[EasyJet Switzerland]], [[Wizz Air]] and [[Transavia]]. A new base was established at the airport in September 2010.{{cn|date=October 2024}}
===Infrastructure===
The airport has 3 runways, two parallel, nominated 06L/24R and 06R/24L (the latter opened in 2004), and a cross runway 02/20. There are two terminals: T2, which is the sum of the previous Terminals A, B and C, located on the north side of the airport and T1, on the west side, which opened on 16 June 2009. {{As of |2014}} the two terminals had a combined total of 268 check-in counters and 64 boarding gates. Operations at the airport are restricted exclusively to [[Instrument flight rules]] (IFR) flights, except for sanitary, emergency and government [[Visual Flight Rules|VFR]] flights.{{cn|date=October 2024}}
A plan for expansion (Plan Barcelona)<ref>[http://www.aena.es/csee/Satellite?cid=1069835097829&pagename=Microsite%2Fmicrosite&SMO=1&p=1069405187914&c=Microsite_FA&MO=3 Barcelona / Plan Barcelona] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070305035644/http://www.aena.es/csee/Satellite?cid=1069835097829&pagename=Microsite%2Fmicrosite&SMO=1&p=1069405187914&c=Microsite_FA&MO=3 |date=5 March 2007 }}. Aena.es. Retrieved on 4 October 2011.</ref> was completed in 2009, adding a third terminal building (also designed by Ricardo Bofill) and control tower. An additional runway (07R/25L) was also built. The airport became capable of handling 55&nbsp;million passengers annually (up from 33&nbsp;million in 2007). The airport expanded in area from {{convert|8.45|to|15.33|km2}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aviatechchannel.com/airports-in-barcelona|title=About Barcelona-El Prat Airport|website=aviatechchannel.com|accessdate= 1 November 2023}}</ref> Further expansion was planned to be finished by 2012, with a new satellite terminal to raise capacity to 70&nbsp;million passengers annually, this is better explained in Terminal T1 section.{{cn|date=October 2024}}

===Terminal 1===
{{Unreferenced section|date=February 2023}}
A new Terminal 1, designed by [[Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura]] was inaugurated on 16 June 2009. The [[airport terminal]] has an area of {{convert|548,000|m2|abbr=on}}, an aircraft ramp of {{convert|600,000|m2|abbr=on}}, 13,000 new parking spaces and 45 new gates expandable to 60. This terminal is also capable of handling large aircraft like the Airbus A380-800 or Boeing 747-8I.
The terminal handles both [[Schengen Agreement|Schengen]] and non-Schengen flights. It is split into 5 Modules with Module A handling flights to Madrid, Module B handling Schengen flights, Module C handling Air Nostrum flights, Module D handling non-Schengen European flights and Module E handling non-Schengen non-European flights.
Its facilities include:
* 258 check-in counters
* 60 jetways (some are prepared for the [[Airbus A380|A380]], with double jetways)
* 15 baggage carousels (one new carousel is equivalent to four carousels in the old terminal)
* 12,000 parking spaces, in addition to the 12,000 already in terminal 2
The forecast is that the airport will be able to handle 55&nbsp;million passengers annually —as opposed to the 30 million people before its construction— and will reach 90 operations an hour.
The extension of the airport with a total investment of €5.1&nbsp;billion in the future{{When|date=May 2014}} will include a new satellite terminal and refurbishment of existing terminals. The civil engineering phase of the South Terminal had a budget of €1&nbsp;billion.
It is also planned the construction of a satellite terminal —T1S or Terminal 1 Satèl·lit, in Catalan— considering that the airport is on the verge of overcrowding because terminals cannot handle all passengers because of space shortage. This terminal will be at 1,5 kilometres from the current T1 terminal, behind the 02-20,  transversal, runway. With this action, the airport will be able to increase its passenger capacity to 70 million people annually.
There are two lounges located in Terminal 1.
===Terminal 2===
Terminal 2 is divided into three linked sections, known as Terminal 2A, 2B and 2C. Terminal 2B is the oldest part of the complex still in use, dating back to 1968. Terminals 2A and 2C were added in order to expand the airport capacity before the arrival of the [[1992 Summer Olympics]] held in the city.<ref name="aenahist"/> This expansion was also designed by [[Ricardo Bofill]].
This terminal is mostly occupied by low-cost airlines, although there are some full-service airlines which also use this terminal.
Following the opening of Terminal 1 in 2009, Terminal 2 became almost empty until the airport authorities lowered landing fees to attract low-cost and regional carriers to fill the terminal. Whilst this has helped, the complex is nowhere near full capacity and Terminal 2A is currently unused for departures. Terminal 2C is used only by [[EasyJet]] and [[EasyJet Switzerland]] flights, with flights to the UK and other non-Schengen destinations using gates M, whilst flights to destinations in the Schengen area use gates R. Terminal 2B is mostly used by [[Ryanair]] and others, like Transavia. And T2A is adapted for large airplanes, such as [[Boeing 777|B777.]] The terminal is also split into gate areas, where flights to Schengen destinations use gates U and flights to non Schengen destinations use gates W and Y.
