Last April, Aena announced the completion of Aena’s remodelling work on the South Dock of Terminal T1 at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat airport, a project carried out by Ineco in 2018 (see ITRANSPORTE 65).

The works were aimed at increasing the capacity of the Dock to cater for the growing number of wide-body aircraft operations, which now have five new parking positions. The south wing of T1 has also been remodelled with the construction of four new boarding bridges and the extension of an existing fifth, all equipped with moving walkways for large aircraft.

The interior of the building has been divided into three levels, separating incoming and outgoing passenger flows.

Ineco has drafted the construction project for the redesign and extension of Barcelona-El Prat Airport’s T1 southern pier for Aena. The purpose of the project, which was awarded in July, is to increase the number of parking stands and boarding gates for large capacity aircraft (types E and F) and enable the operation of international flights, which have increased in recent years.
