The Prat airport closed the first six months of this year with a new passenger record, according to data published this Tuesday by Aena, the Spanish airport operator. Specifically, the Barcelona aerodrome received more than 28.37 million travelers between January and June, an increase of 4.4% compared to the same period in 2025.

Now that you're done There is a new expansion project on the tableThe future of El Prat Airport is once again at the center of debate. But in Catalonia, there are also other airports that want to take advantage of this new era to grow. Both Girona and Reus have long hoped to develop rail connections as a lever for development so as not to fall behind the growth prospects of El Prat Airport, which has been setting records for years and surpassed 55 million passengers last year. The investment package planned by the Spanish government for the coming years aims to move in this direction, with new stations that better connect the airports and attract more passengers.

Once the light is on, Green light for the expansion of El Prat airport Doubts arise that perhaps should have been resolved earlier. And not all of them are green, that is, environmental, which are undoubtedly also essential. The first has to do with governance. Who will manage this facility? Shouldn't economic and social stakeholders be involved in some way? And to know exactly what we're talking about, shouldn't the manager, Aena, provide financial data on each of the airports, starting with the one in the Catalan capital?
