The new Barcelona airport terminal T1

The opening of the new Barcelona airport terminal T1 in Barcelona's airport El Prat on the 16th of June 2009 strengthens Barcelona's position as an "exemplary airport within the Mediterranean and the south of Europe".
It has been said, that the project for the terminal T1 in Barcelona's airport belongs to one of the largest civil engineering projects ever undertaken in Europe and the result can be shown in any case:
A processing building where check-in is taking place, baggage reclaim and airport shopping areas, two lateral piers and one longitudinal pier for passenger boarding, and an intermodal lobby where the various transport systems will come together.
Not only will it increase the numbers of passengers travelling to and from Barcelona but the opening of the new terminal means the creation of more than 3000 jobs in the terminal T1.
