Development of a hub operation strategy for a long-haul low-cost airline at Barcelona Airport

Barcelona Airport has reached its operational limit in terms of passenger numbers, resulting in significant strain on passenger flows and infrastructure usage (from an operational perspective), especially at Terminal 1, where most airlines operate. This situation is further aggravated in the case of...
