BCN Airport Unplugged

BCN Airport Unplugged: De l'automatització de maletes al control de pista

On July 7th, the Tech Tourism Cluster and the Light Mobility Cluster offer you a unique opportunity to see what no one else sees: the technological and logistical gears that make the Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport work.


In this immersive day, we will leave the passenger areas behind to delve into the operational heart of one of the country's most strategic infrastructures.


What will we visit and what will we learn? 

During the visit, attendees will have restricted access to key areas to understand mobility management and cutting-edge technology applied to tourism: 

🧳 The Automated Baggage Handling System (SATE): We will discover how thousands of pieces of luggage are autonomously and accurately sorted and transported across kilometers of conveyor belts. 

🛂 The Control Room: The brain of the airport. We will analyze how real-time operations, flow coordination, and critical decision-making are managed. 

🛬 Perimeter runway tour: We will take an exclusive tour along the runway service roads, closely observing aircraft activity and ground logistics (handling, security, and runway control).
