Aena drops 153 M € on El Prat's T2: biggest revamp ever
Aena is putting €153 million into Terminal 2 at Barcelona-El Prat. This is not a minor facelift: according to Hosteltur, it is the largest renovation that terminal has seen since it opened.
What does this mean for those of us in travel? That El Prat is gearing up to handle more traffic with a better passenger experience, exactly when Barcelona is competing to be Europe's southern gateway. T2 has always been the poor cousin to T1, but with this investment Aena seems determined to balance the scales.
My take: the airport operator is not just chasing operational efficiency, it is giving low-cost and medium-haul airlines reasons to keep betting on the city. €153 million well spent can turn T2 into a real asset. We will see if the project sticks to schedule and budget, but the direction is right.
