Lisbon Portela Airport: Brief Overview

Lisbon Portela Airport, also known as Humberto Delgado Airport, is an international airport located just seven kilometres northeast of Lisbon's city centre. As a main gateway to Portugal, it is a vital hub for millions of passengers travelling to and from the country every year. Currently, it is the 16th-largest airport in Europe in terms of passenger volume and handles a significant amount of cargo. This airport is a key hub for flights to Brazil and serves as the primary base for several airlines, including TAP Air Portugal and its subsidiary TAP Express, as well as Ryanair and easyJet.
