It is a main base for Vueling, a hub for Iberia Regional and low-cost giant Ryanair as well as a focus city for Air Europa. The airport mainly serves domestic, European and North African destinations, also having flights to Middle East (Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Dubai, Qatar), Asia (Pakistan, China and Singapore), Latin America (Argentina, Brazil and Colombia), North America (United States and Canada) and Sub-Saharan Africa (Senegal and Gambia).<\/p>\n<p>The Barcelona\u2013Madrid air shuttle service, known as the &#8220;Puente A\u00e9reo&#8221; (in Spanish), or &#8220;Pont Aeri&#8221; (in Catalan) literally &#8220;Air Bridge&#8221;, was the world&#8217;s busiest route until 2008, with the highest number of flight operations (971 per week) in 2007. The schedule has been reduced since February 2008, when a Madrid\u2013Barcelona high-speed rail line was opened, covering the distance in 2 hours 30 minutes, and quickly became popular.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014 Barcelona Airport handled a record 37.5 million passengers, up 6.7% from 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona\u2013El Prat was the first Spanish airport to receive a daily flight with the Airbus A380, on the Emirates route to Dubai International Airport. Emirates has also recently announced that they will also bring daily their Boeing 777 to follow the same route, so the Catalan airport can offer the route twice a day, one with each aircraft. It has been announced as well that in 2015, Transaero Airlines will bring daily their A380 to Barcelona for its routes to Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main airlines that operates out of Barcelona, Norwegian Air Shuttle, has announced its intention of starting long-haul routes out of Barcelona\u2013El Prat, from 2016, to destinations such as New York John F. Kennedy International Airport and\/or Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, operated by Boeing 787 aircraft.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_message message_box_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; style=&#8221;rounded&#8221; message_box_color=&#8221;violet&#8221; icon_type=&#8221;fontawesome&#8221; icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-shopping-cart&#8221; icon_openiconic=&#8221;vc-oi vc-oi-dial&#8221; icon_typicons=&#8221;typcn typcn-adjust-brightness&#8221; icon_entypo=&#8221;entypo-icon entypo-icon-note&#8221; icon_linecons=&#8221;vc_li vc_li-heart&#8221; icon_pixelicons=&#8221;vc_pixel_icon vc_pixel_icon-alert&#8221;]<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Want to find the best place to buy Duty Free on your journey? <strong><a style=\"color: #ffffff;\" title=\"Duty Free Hunter Shopping\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">START HERE &gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_message][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3173&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; border_color=&#8221;grey&#8221; img_link_large=&#8221;&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; img_size=&#8221;190&#215;180&#8243; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<h3 class=\"h5\"><strong>Barcelona\u00a0Airport\u00a0Duty Free Shops<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Duty Free and luxury boutiques at this airport include:<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona Duty Free (World Duty Free)<br \/>\nAccessorize<br \/>\nAdidas<br \/>\nCarolina Herrera<br \/>\nDesigual<br \/>\nEtam<br \/>\nFerrari<br \/>\nLa Perla<br \/>\nMango<br \/>\nMassimo Dutti<br \/>\nZara<br \/>\nCrystal Media Shop<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]Match any journey through Barcelona El Prat \u00a0Airport to the duty free and luxury shopping available on departure, inflight and on arrival with Duty [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3173,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[247],"tags":[40,321,319,44,69,39,46,56,41,43,42,320,259,260,216,83,103,273],"class_list":["post-3171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-airport-duty-free-information","tag-airport","tag-barca","tag-barcelona","tag-cosmetics","tag-duty-free","tag-dutyfree","tag-fashion","tag-fragrance","tag-luxury","tag-perfume","tag-shopping","tag-spain","tag-tax-free","tag-tfwa","tag-travel-retail","tag-vodka","tag-whisky","tag-world-duty-free"],"acf":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3171\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
