The second provides the ideal environment for roughly twenty cargo agents who deal with matters related to the operators mentioned previously or any other transport and distribution company.
Madrid –Barajas Airport is home to the world’s major passenger airlines, both regular and charter, as well as the most important air cargo lines.
Altogether, over seventy companies let the passenger choose whichever best suits his or her flight requirements.
