Madrid Barajas International Airport

Using the Madrid Barajas International Airport airport profile

Madrid Barajas International Airport serves Madrid, ES, at reference coordinates 40.4936, -3.5668. Its canonical aviation identifier on PocketWorld is ICAO code LEMD| IATA: MAD. The listed elevation and timezone come from the airport reference catalog and help place the airfield on the globe; they are not a substitute for an aeronautical information publication or a current airport notice.

Geographically, Madrid Barajas International Airport is recorded in Madrid, Madrid, ES, north of the equator and west of Greenwich. At 2001 feet in the reference catalog, it is grouped here as an elevated airport; its timezone identifier is Europe/Madrid. These stable attributes help distinguish the airport from places with similar names or shared metropolitan codes. You can also open the Madrid city profile.

The flight section reports only aircraft found in PocketWorld's latest available public ADS-B snapshot with enough origin or destination metadata to associate them with MAD. Receiver coverage, provider availability, transponder settings and metadata quality vary by region and aircraft. A flight can therefore be operating normally without appearing here, and a callsign or airport pair can be missing, delayed or stale.

Position data is not an airline schedule

An observed aircraft position can help explain where a flight was recently seen, together with altitude, speed and route fields when those values are present. It does not by itself confirm a gate, terminal, boarding time, delay, diversion or cancellation. Arrivals and departures shown here are matches from public telemetry, not a complete airport operations board.
