Humberto Delgado Airport, informally known as Lisbon Portela Airport, is a bustling international airport situated just seven kilometres northeast of Lisbon's city centre, serving as Portugal's primary gateway to the world. Ranked as Europe's 16th largest airport in terms of passenger volume as of 2021, it catered to a staggering 190,700,000 tonnes of cargo. Lisbon Portela is an important European hub to Brazil and serves as a main hub for Portugal's flag carrier TAP Air Portugal, including TAP Express, and also for low-cost airlines Ryanair and easyJet.
