About Madrid
Spain's capital, on a high plateau in the centre of the country, and its administrative and financial heart. Long-standing ties to Latin America shape its long-haul market.
Population about 6,000,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Madrid is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
