About Barcelona Private Jet Flights
With more flights than any other airport, Barcelona is now in second place among the European cities represented in the program, followed by Paris. Barcelona is Europe’s fifth busiest airport with nine airports in Europe scoring the highest on the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Global Airline Performance Index. For the first time, City Airport, with more international flights and passengers than the Paris region, is included in the ranking.
The prestigious Airline Rankings, created by Air Transport World, is the longest-running and most comprehensive benchmarking survey, which regularly examines the performance of airlines and airports in more than 100 countries. It highlights the relative strengths of airlines and airports and allows passengers to take stock of where to go in terms of air travel across Europe. The rankings take into account the entirety of an airline and airport’s network, including all inbound and outbound flights, passengers, staff and maintenance.
It comes as City Airport commemorates the first two flights of its new 200-plane parking area.
It is now evaluating long-term plans for the airport, which is Europe’s second largest, with over 4,000 weekly flights to 60 destinations. The airport features a 2.7-kilometer runway that allows for long-distance flights across Europe, to the Americas, and to most regions of Asia.
Tom Williams, chief executive of City Airport, said: “City Airport has been flying for over 100 years. This ranking highlights the impressive quality of our facilities and the significant impact that City Airport has on the regional and national economy. It is great news to have Barcelona voted as the best city airport in Europe, and Barcelona will forever be a great partner of City Airport.”
Barcelona is one of Europe’s most vibrant cities. Tourism is a key economic driver and accounts for an estimated 11% of the Spanish economy. With hundreds of hotels and nearly seven million tourists arriving every year, there is an opportunity for City Airport to reinforce its ties with the Catalan capital.
The announcement comes as City Airport and City Aviation Group sign a joint framework agreement with the City of Barcelona in Barcelona.
Bradley Wilkinson, president of City Aviation Group, said: “It is great news that Barcelona is voted as the best city airport in Europe. We are focused on helping Barcelona grow its tourism and enhance the city’s status as Europe’s pre-eminent city. We want to strengthen ties with other cities and regions in the European region to expand our networks, strengthen our connections and boost the economy. It is important to note that we are also committed to promoting innovation, technology and improving the travel experience.”
City Airport will join the Barcelona City Aviation Group in 2021, which has grown from 50 to 550 employees with the appointment of two new executive leaders in recent months. Its two executive leaders will focus on the long-term development of Barcelona City Airport, ensuring its success and providing seamless travel for passengers.
Narcis Podrez, chief executive of Barcelona City Tourism, said: “In the next few years, we want Barcelona City Airport to be a key part of our efforts to promote the city and increase its position as one of the world’s best destinations. We are proud to welcome City Airport, which will be a key destination in the Barcelona network. We see City Airport as a great partner to develop the Barcelona tourism industry and ensure that passengers have seamless and enjoyable travel between Barcelona, Europe and the world.”
Alexandre Catala, president of City Aviation Group, said: “I’m proud to welcome Barcelona City Airport as the first joint venture partner of the Barcelona City Aviation Group. As a top tourism destination, Barcelona City Airport is a fantastic addition to our group. We will develop our regional networks, strengthen our links with other airports, enhance our technology and provide our passengers with a seamless experience across all our airports.”
City Airport is also building a number of modern facilities including a new airport restaurant and a new transfer lounge for City Airport and City Aviation Group’s European routes.

Johannesburg Airport
Johannesburg is split into a number of ‘clusters’. For an example of the difficulty of getting information in Johannesburg go here.
In an instance such as this it’s understandable that Johannesburg City Government will be far more likely to respond to a request from an airport than it would a request from the City of Johannesburg itself.
Regional City of Johannesburg
To go to the Johannesburg Regional City of Johannesburg (they must be regional though) you have to go to O. R. Tambo International Airport and go to the tourism counter in Terminal 2. Ask them for details and mention your flight number.
International City of Johannesburg
When you fly to Johannesburg International Airport you go through the City of Joburg’s city border. For international passengers travelling to the International City of Johannesburg (I.C.J.) you can travel to I.C.J via the O. R. Tambo International Airport.
We think that if you’re flying for business, you’ll want to fly into Johannesburg’s International City (I.C.J.) anyway to get to the International Business Centre.
To get to I.C.J go to O. R. Tambo International Airport and check in to your international flight. Then head to the international arrivals terminal (the one on the right hand side) and ask for information on the International City of Johannesburg.
On the airport map of the International City of Johannesburg, it’s easier to just go to the City Centre Airport in O. R. Tambo Airport. There’s a number for the City Centre Airport and you can get details from there.
