Overview
- Aena publicly confirmed the €153.4 million program and said some preparatory technical works have already begun on July 17, 2026, with full execution tied to DORA III approval expected in September 2026.
- The budget is split into four main packages: €10.7 million for electromechanical renewals, €20.3 million to adapt the hold-baggage inspection system (SIEB), €53.9 million for integral terminal adaptation, and €68.1 million for other improvements.
- Aena says the works will keep T2 fully operational and will not raise the terminal’s designed passenger capacity; the project focuses on passenger comfort and operational efficiency rather than throughput expansion.
- Planned visible changes include renewed exterior materials for more natural light and efficiency, a large vegetated axis between terminal and parking, improved wayfinding, and closer integration with future rail links and a near‑terminal Hyatt hotel.
- The program runs in phases with main works slated for 2027–2031 and completion by 2032, and conservation studies are under way on heritage elements such as the Joan Miró ceramic mural whose relocation remains technically complex.
