Madrid Barajas International Airport , located northeast of Madrid's city center ([40°28′20″N, 3°33′39″W]), is the most important international and domestic gateway in Spain. Opened in 1928, the airport has grown to be one of the most important aviation centers of Europe.

Barajas serves as the gateway to the Iberian peninsula from the rest of Europe and the world, particularly Latin America. In 2005, 41,963,197 passengers used Barajas; it ranks as the world's 12th—and Europe's fifth—busiest airport. Barajas is the primary hub and maintenance base for Iberia Airlines. Consequently, Iberia is responsible for around 60 percent of Barajas' traffic.

On February 5, 2006, the immense Terminal 4 was inaugurated—making Barajas the world's largest airport, in terms of terminal area, with an area of more than one million square meters (11 million square feet).  With the new addition, Barajas is designed to handle 70 million passengers annually.

Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are adjacent terminals that are home to SkyTeam and Star Alliance airlines, as well as Air Europa and Spanair.

Terminal 4 is home to Iberia Airlines and all Oneworld partner airlines.
