All oneworld(SM) member airlines serving Madrid will move into the airport's new, US $7.4 billion (EUR 6 billion) Terminal 4 on Sunday, Feb. 5, in what will be the alliance's biggest and most significant co-location move yet.
Madrid is home base of oneworld member Iberia and the alliance's main gateway between Europe and Latin America. Five of the alliance's other partners also fly there -- American Airlines, British Airways, LAN, Finnair and Aer Lingus -- along with members-elect Malev and Royal Jordanian.
Currently, these airlines operate from two different terminals at the city's Barajas Airport. Between them, they carried nearly 25 million passengers to and from Madrid last year -- seven in every 10 of the airport's passengers. They will account for 90 percent of the new terminal's passengers, with the rest flying on a number of unaligned carriers.
oneworld member airlines currently operate a total of 650 arriving and departing flights a day at Madrid, connecting the airport with more than 100 destinations in 42 countries worldwide.
Their move into the state-of-the-art Terminal 4 will improve the airport experience for all oneworld passengers travelling to or from the Spanish capital, with the smoothest of transfers for those connecting between alliance member airlines' flights, at what will be one of the world's most modern, passenger-friendly and efficient airport facilities.
