Portugal
Together with Spain, Portugal forms the Iberian Peninsula and is known for its diversity in holiday destinations. The Algarve in the south is very popular among the Portuguese and Europeans on a year-round basis. The capital Lisbon has the busiest airport in Portugal, but the airports of Porto and Faro are also used by many travellers. In total, there are seven international airports in Portugal. The smaller airports Terceira Airport / Lajes Field (Azores) and Porto Santo Airport (Madeira) are used for commercial flights more and more often. Except for Terceira Airport, all Portuguese airports are operated by VINCI Airports. You can find useful information about the largest Portuguese airports on our website.
