Catching flights Madrid bound

International flights Madrid bound all land at Barajas Airport. Once you have disembarked from your flight Madrid is just a 20 minute taxi ride away as the airport is only eight miles from the city centre.

There was more focus on Spain as a whole in 1992 with the Barcelona Olympics taking place as well as the Universal Exposition in Seville. Even though neither of these events took place in Madrid, there was still much attention on the capital and there were increasingly more flights Madrid bound that year as people flocked to Spain.
