Closed agreement for the extension of the Barcelona-the Prat airport. The Generalitat and the Ministry of Transport have agreed with AENA, the airport manager, a proposal to invest more than 3,000 million euros in a comprehensive remodeling of the Catalan infrastructure. The elongation of the third track that Aena claimed will be accompanied by the construction of a new satellite terminal, the remodeling of the T1 and the T2 and an adaptation of the parkings area. In addition, a renaturalization of almost 300 hectares of the Llobregat Agrarian Park is faced to compensate for the media environmental impact that the works will cause.
He president Salvador Illa has called an appearance for this Tuesday at noon with the intention of giving details of a project that has always defended as a priority to give wings to the economy of Catalonia. The extension of the Barcelona airport is a long -distance issue and that has been surrounded by controversy due to the affectation that causes the Delta del Llobregat, a fragile natural space protected with the European stamp Red Natura 2000. The Government defends that the intervention in the Laguna de la Ricard will have compensation with the renaturalization of almost 300 hectares of the agricultural lands that surround the airport.
the Government of the PSC will have ahead of the challenge of seeking political support for the proposal. The investiture partners of Salvador Illa, Esquerra and the Commons have unmarked the expansion claiming that the current context of climate change clashes with an ambition intervention in the airport with the aim of gaining more traffic and, consequently, more passenger volume. Last year Josep Tarradellas airport exceeded the figure of the 55 million passengers, a record figure that put the infrastructure to the edge of its operational capacity.
