New name with Josep Tarradellas[edit]

The article is currently called "Barcelona-El Prat Josep Tarradellas Airport"; however, according to Aena's English website, the airport is called "Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport". This would also be in line with other Spanish airports which include people's names, e.g. Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas or César Manrique Lanzarote. Vishal dh (talk) 10:51, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Was the airport previously known as 'Muntadas' airport?[edit]

Wikipedia has various references to 'Muntadas' Airport (e.g. Deutsche_Luft_Hansa#During_World_War_II ) and the wider internet has several references. Given that there doesn't seem to have been any other international airport in Barcelona (?) are these references to El Prat?

The Catalan Wikipedia thinks so, identifying the Aeròdrom Muntadas as one of three aerodromes amalgamated into the airport, which then took the Muntadas name for the duration of Franco's rule. Unfortunately, they cite the digital edition of the Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana. I haven't found any non-encyclopedic sources myself. 86.178.124.211 (talk) 11:46, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Volotea serves BCN Airport?[edit]

Hi there! So this wikipedia article suggests that volotea, another Spanish low-cost airline, operates from/to Barcelona airport. So does the wikipedia article about the said airline. Yet, at the time of this post, the Spanish version of the BCN airport's website doesn't even include it in its destinations' list, nor in its airlines' list. Volotea's website (again, at the time of this post) does indeed make that claim, but could anyone from Barcelona attest to the truth of that claim? It'd be helpful! I mean, isn't wikipedia a place where people can have trustworthy information? Thanks all!
