From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Accidents : There was 1 accident on Nov 28 2004 involving a KLM flight from Amsterdam. Just after landing the plane went off the runway at approximately 180km/h for a problem on the front wheel. Luckiliy the plane stopped after few hundreds meters without hitting anything just on the edge of a water canal. Front and rear trail destroyed, passengers had to get out from emergency exits. 16 passengers slightly injured. Picture at : http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.php?id=378569

MADRID-BARCELONA it's the busiest sector in Europe by a wide margin .Please don't post more lies in Wikipedia. You can read the EUROSTAT official european statistics here:

http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/cache/ITY_OFFPUB/KS-NZ-06-002/EN/KS-NZ-06-002-EN.PDF

DUB-LHR it's the busiest INTERNATIONAL intra-european sector with more than 2 Millions in 2004, while MAD-BCN it's the BUSIEST EUROPEAN SECTOR with more than 4 Millions passengers every year. I have corrected AGAIN the modification that falsely said MAD-BCN as the second busiest ... .


Another time an irish user ( Tracing route to 83-70-70-134.b-ras1.srl.dublin.eircom.net [83.70.70.134] ) have modified the article with FALSE statestment like this:

"Between Barcelona El Prat airport and Madrid Barajas, 4,444,262 passengers were transfered in 2005 , making it the second busiest european sector, behind Dublin-London .This route it's called "Puente Aereo" (Air Bridge) ."

IT'S FALSE .

Even adding DUB-LHR , DUB-STN and DUB-GTW , they don't reach the MADRID-BARCELONA city pair also.

In term of airport to airport part MAD-BCN (4.571.073) , doubled DUB-LHR (2 Millions) in 2005 .


Also to note the huge new Terminal ( south terminal) under construction rigt now, to enter service in 2008.

[edit] Internet/wi-fi

I'm just about to add a small section on internet access at the airport. Hopefully you find this relevant! I travel a lot and (sad I admit) sometimes my route decision will depend on being able to check my email during a 3-hour layover or not. I plan to add this information to a few of the airport articles. Additionally, maybe it would be an idea to have a larger section on "facilities" with internet access somewhere within it?
