The debate over the future of El Prat Airport has been ongoing for more than five years and has led to the creation of committees, commissions, and working groups to study possible alternatives. While waiting for Catalan President Salvador Illa to present his proposal in the coming weeks, Barcelona City Council has also announced its proposal. Former Minister Santi Vila (Granollers, 1973) chairs the council's Infrastructure Advisory Committee, which in its final opinion urges expanding the infrastructure "preferably" without affecting Ricarda.
