The Barcelona Airport underwent a major development in preparation for the 1992 Summer Olympics with the construction of a second terminal (designed by Ricardo Bofill). Since then, significant increases in passenger numbers have urged the need for further expansion, know as "Plan Barcelona" [3] including a third terminal building (also designed by Ricardo Bofill) and control tower. An additional runway (07R/25L) has been built. Once these developments are complete, the airport will be capable of handling 55 million passengers annually (compared to 30 million passengers in 2006). The airport is slated to expand in area from 8.45 to 15.33 km² by 2009.
