Qatar Airways has moved all its operations at
Madrid Barajas International Airport to Terminal 4 (T4).
The Doha-based carrier’s move from Terminal 1 to
Terminal 4 will allow passengers access to improved amenities,
enhanced baggage facilities, as well as a wider selection of
restaurants and retail shopping outlets.
The city of Madrid conveniently connects to T4
by metro, buses and train, and passengers can also take advantage
of the ample parking facilities available at Barajas Airport.
Operated by Iberia Airport Services (IBAS), T4 is considered
to be one of the world’s most modern and best equipped terminals.
Thanks to the commercial agreement reached with Spanish
national carrier Iberia, all Qatar Airways passengers will be able
to seamlessly connect to their domestic flights operated from T4.
The terminal move will also see the change to IBAS for Qatar
Airways’ ground handling, passenger and ramp handling services.
Qatar Airways check-in counters at Terminal 4 will be 910 to 917.
Additionally, passengers flying in Qatar Airways’ Business
Class will have access to Iberia’s exclusive VIP lounge, which
features facilities including a business centre, a
variety of dining areas, WiFi internet access and televisions
throughout, and much more.
T4 was designed by world known
architects Antonio Lamela and Richard Rogers. The award-winning
design (2006 Stirling Prize winner) attempts to use its sweeping
visual effects to create a stress-free feeling among passengers
prior to their journey.
“Qatar Airways’ move to Terminal 4 at Madrid’s
Barajas International Airport allows the airline to deliver its
five-star services while operating from one of the world’s most
modern terminals,” said Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer,
Akbar Al Baker.
“In addition, our premium passengers will benefit from a fast
track service to quicken security control clearance and will have
the opportunity to enjoy the exclusive Five Star services of
Iberia’s VIP lounge ... Madrid plays an important
part in our overall route network and we are pleased to be
enhancing our operations here.”
