Barcelona's El Prat Airport has become Europe's second-busiest airport for origin-destination travel, attracting 53 million passengers last year, just behind Heathrow. A mere 5.5% of travelers use it as a layover, demonstrating Barcelona's status as a preferred final destination. The airport's growth is driven by a 5% increase in seat capacity and the addition of 12 new destinations, including four intercontinental routes, improving global reach. New airline competition enhances connectivity on popular long-haul routes, solidifying El Prat's competitive edge in the aviation market.
