Humberto Delgado Airport(IATA:LIS,ICAO:LPPT), informallyLisbon Airportand previouslyPortela Airport,is aninternational airportlocated seven kilometres (four nautical miles) northeast of the city centre ofLisbon,the capital ofPortugal.[3]The airport is the main international gateway to Portugal. As of 2023, it was the12th-largest airport in Europein terms of passenger volume, and carried 190,700 tonnes of cargo.[4]Lisbon Airport is also the main European hub toBrazil,[5]the largest EuropeanStar Alliancehub to South America[6][7]and also an important European hub toAfrica.[8]

The airport is the main hub of Portugal'sflag carrierTAP Air Portugal,including its subsidiaryTAP Express,as well as being a hub forlow-cost airlinesRyanairandeasyJet.It is a focus city forAzores Airlines,euroAtlantic Airways,Hi FlyandWhite Airways.The airport is run byANA Aeroportos de Portugal,which was concessioned to the French groupVinci SAin February 2013.[9]

Lisbon Airport has consistently ranked dismally in customer satisfaction, withAirHelppolling it in last place amongst 132 airports in the world as of 2022.[10]It is one of the most congested airports of Europe[11]and one of the only major airports to have an approach path directly over the city,[12]notwithstanding plans to build anew airportelsewhere. These plans have for decades been postponed or suspended for a myriad of reasons.[13]

History[edit]

Early years[edit]

The airport opened on 15 October 1942, duringWorld War II,and initially operated in conjunction with theCabo Ruivo Seaplane Base:seaplanes performed transatlantic flights, and passengers were transferred onto continental flights operating from the new airport.[14]As a neutral airport it was open to both German and British airlines, and was a hub for smuggling people into, out of, and across Europe. It is widely referenced in the classic filmCasablanca,whose plot revolves around an escape attempt to Lisbon airport. As such, it was heavily monitored by bothAxisandAlliedspies. Although Portugal was neutral, the airport was used by allied flights en route toGibraltar,North AfricaandCairo.[15]

At the end of the war the airport developed rapidly, and by 1946 was used by major airlines such asAir France,British European Airways,Iberia,KLM,Sabena,Pan AmandTrans World Airlines[citation needed].By 1954 the number of passengers reached 100,000.[15]

A 1951–52 airport diagram[16]shows four runways laid out at 45-degree angles: 1,350 m (4,429 ft) Runway 5, 1,024 m (3,360 ft) Runway 9, 1,203 m (3,947 ft) Runway 14, and 1,170 m (3,839 ft) Runway 18. Runways 5 and 36 were each later extended northward to a length of 1,999 m (6,558 ft).

Major upgrades from 1959 to 1962 included a new runway capable of handling the first generation of jets, such as theBoeing 707andDouglas DC-8.[15]The first jet aircraft flight was an Air FranceCaravellein 1960.[15]In 1962 runway 02/20 came into use. It was 3,130 m (10,269 ft) long and would allow direct transatlantic flights.[15]The first direct flight to New York was operated by TWA with a Boeing 707, who later operated the first Boeing 747 service in 1970.[15]When TAP ordered the 747 in 1972, five large parking bays were built, and the terminal was enlarged.[15]A major upgrade to the buildings and facilities commenced in 1983, and the first air bridges were added in 1991.[15]

Along with the airports in Porto, Faro, Ponta Delgada, Santa Maria, Horta, Flores, Madeira, and Porto Santo, the airport's concessions to provide support to civil aviation were conceded toANA Aeroportos de Portugalon 18 December 1998, under provisions of decree 404/98. With this concession, ANA became responsible for the planning, development and construction of future infrastructure.[17]

Airport expansion[edit]

The airport is now surrounded by urban development, being one of the few airports in Europe located inside a major city.[citation needed]This led to a national debate on whether to keep the present location or to build a new airport; the last option was chosen. Initially,Ota,a village 50 km (31 mi) north of Lisbon, was chosen as one of the sites for thenew airport.In 2007 an independent study coordinated by the Portuguese Industry Confederation (CIP) suggestedAlcocheteas an alternative location (seeAlcochete Airport). A military training facility currently occupies the site, but the military agreed to abandon the location provided it could transfer its facility to a different area. A second government-contracted study led by theNational Laboratory of Civil Engineering(LNEC)[18]concluded in late 2007 that Alcochete was the best location.

The selection of Alcochete was announced on 10 January 2008, more than 35 years after the first capacity increase studies were initiated. The Portuguese government announced that Alcochete was the preliminary choice, to be finalised after public consultation.[19][20]The location of Alcochete as the construction site of the future Lisbon Airport was confirmed by the government on 8 May 2008,[21]but the contract was shelved as part of Portugal's cost-cutting austerity measures, and completely dismissed from Portugal's transportation strategy plans in July 2013, with investment being concentrated on expanding and further improving the existing Lisbon Airport infrastructure.[22]

In November 2006 the operating company ANA Aeroportos de Portugal, announced an expansion plan for some airport structures in order to respond to current passenger traffic growth trends, and full capacity use of the airport, which had been intended to respond to growth until the new airport was to be finished in 2017.[citation needed]This plan involved the construction of a new second terminal called Terminal 2 (concluded and operational since August 2007), and expansion of Terminal 1 with new boarding gates (concluded in 2011), a large new shopping and restaurant area, new airbridges and parking positions, a more efficient use of currently existing structures, and a new undergroundMetro de Lisboastation inaugurated in July 2012.

Terminal 2 is used by six scheduled low-cost flight airlines for departures to European destinations, while Terminal 1 handles all arrivals and regular scheduled and chartered flights. A free shuttle bus connects the two and runs every ten minutes.[23]In October 2010, European low-cost airline easyJet officially opened a new base at Lisbon Airport, using Terminal 2 for departures. In 2022, the airline moved to Terminal 1.[24][25]

Between 2007 and 2013, Lisbon Airport underwent several structural and equipment improvements and expansions. These included the construction of Terminal 2, lighting and baggage claim refurbishment, new cargo facilities, fuel storage, north pier and boarding lounge, north bus gate and baggage claim, enlargement of express cargo facilities, electrical refurbishments, departure lounge refurbishments and underground station and other terminal improvements all of which have been completed.[26]As part of the definite solution for Lisbon Airport, in July 2013 a new commercial area was inaugurated in the Terminal 1 air side area with 20 new stores and spacious naturally lighted internal circulation areas.[27]In July 2015, a significantly larger food court was introduced, catering to more tastes and delicacies.[28]

With the long-term concession ofANA Aeroportos de Portugalto the French group Vinci Airports[9]the project for a new airport was postponed in July 2013, and it was decided that the existing Lisbon Airport would be further upgraded to surpass 22 million passengers annually[29]and would remain the present solution for this major European gateway.[30]Ryanair had predicted that it will double the number of passengers it carries from the airport in the three years from 2014.[31]

In January 2019, Portugal's government unveiled a 1.1-billion-euro ($1.26 billion) plan to expand Lisbon's current airport and build a second one.[32]National airports operator ANA is footing the bill to adapt a military airfield inMontijo,30 km (19 mi) by road from Lisbon.[33]It aims to handle around 50 million passengers a year from 2022.[34]The airports company will also pay for the expansion of the existing airport in the capital. With around 29 million passengers a year, Humberto Delgado Airport is at full capacity, having been in 2019 thebusiest single-runway airportinmainland Europe.[35]

Naming[edit]

In February 2015, Lisbon city council unanimously agreed to propose that the name of Lisbon International Airport, known as Portela due to its geographical location, be changed to Humberto Delgado Airport. The proposal, tabled by the Socialist leadership under former MayorAntónio Costa,was agreed to by councillors from across party lines.[36][37]

The Portuguese government under current Prime Minister António Costa, announced in February 2016 that Lisbon Portela Airport would be renamed on 15 May 2016 afterHumberto Delgado,in memory of the late Portuguese air force general and famous politician. "He was an opposition figure to thedictatorship regime... and had a very important role in the field of civil aviation, "Minister of Planning and InfrastructurePedro Marquessaid at a press conference after the meeting of Council of Ministers, stressing that it was Humberto Delgado who presided over the foundation of Portugal's flagship airlineTAPand "so it is very fair this assignment name to the airport". 2016 marks the 110th anniversary of the birth of Humberto Delgado, who was also known as the "Fearless General" due to his staunch opposition toSalazar'srule and his participation in the1958 Portuguese presidential election.[38]

Terminals[edit]

Airport Map

Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport features two passenger terminal buildings:[39]

Terminal 1[edit]

Terminal 1 is the main building and features large landside and airside areas containing several shops and service facilities. It consists of two check-in halls, the older one has been converted intoTAP Air Portugal's self check-in area, and the newer one housing 68 desks (37–89 and 90–106). The joint departures area features 47 gates (17 of which are equipped with jet-bridges) with 21 of them designated to non-Schengen destinations.[39]As the airport features several more apron stands, bus boarding is often used here. Most airlines use Terminal 1, including TAP Air Portugal, itsStar Alliancepartners,Oneworldand, exceptionally, easyJet.

Terminal 2[edit]

Terminal 2 is the much smaller, newer of the two terminals in the airport, used exclusively bylow-cost carriers.It is located away from Terminal 1 on the southern border of the airport perimeter. It has 22 check-in desks (201–222), designated to each particular low-cost carrier, and 15 departure gates (201–215) using mainly walk boarding but also bus. There are only standard facilities, a few shops and service counters. The terminal is reachable via the free airport shuttle service from Terminal 1.[39]The users of Terminal 2 areRyanair,Wizz Air,Transavia,Transavia France,Vueling,EurowingsandNorwegian.
