The New Bilbao Airport travel tips and stories. Vacations ideas, cruises, spa and resorts

The new terminal of Bilbao Airport, Spain is a production of Aerodynamic roof over the administrative areas, restaurants and waiting areas. So this exciting architecture is design by the architect Santiago Calatrava. The investment is 43 million Euros($39million). It covers an area of 25, 000 square meters and will be able to handle up 3 million passenger per year.

The Bilbao Airport has been designed to limit the impact of ancillary buildings. The new innovations are the expansion of the airfield by 500 meters, this will increase the airport payload operations. Also the construction of a new control tower, which improve the airport’s control facilities.

The entrance to the passenger hall in the new terminal building is 140m long and the hall has a height of 20m. The distance from the entrance to the apron is 26m.

For Santiago Calatrava aesthetics on the airport are very important because it is the gateway to the Basque capital and the area has recently seen the addition of some spectacular new buildings, such as the Guggenheim museum.

The four-storey car park, for instance, is tucked into a grassy embankment, out of sight and mind once the vehicle has been parked. Inside the building there is a similar aesthetic concern. The floors are of shining marble and passengers reach the aircraft by way of the departure hall and the four-storey departure gallery that lies beyond it, connected to the aircraft by steel gangways.
