Do wish to see MAD be added in the game. I suppose to add it mainly due to:

  1. Interesting runway layout but very efficient.
  2. Architectural significance and a storyline around the expansion.
  3. Balanced passenger and cargo operations.
  4. Good connection point in the west of Europe.

I think the taxiway layout will be the more interesting aspect of the airport, specially when they add the taxi path customization to the game

I love Barajas. Also very fast landing exits (IRL) that could be added in the game making it the fastest larger airport for landings.
