Humberto Delgado Airport (IATA: LIS, ICAO: LPPT), informally Lisbon Airport and previously Portela Airport, is an international airport located seven kilometres (four nautical miles) northeast of the city centre of Lisbon, Portugal. With more than 35 million passengers/year, it is the 12th-largest airport in Europe in terms of passenger volume, and the busiest single-runway airport in mainland Europe.[4] It also carries approximately 200,000 tonnes of cargo per year.[5]
The airport is the main hub of Portugal's flag carrier TAP Air Portugal,[6][7][8] including its subsidiary TAP Express, and is a hub for low-cost carriers Ryanair and easyJet. It is a focus city for Azores Airlines, euroAtlantic Airways, Hi Fly, and White Airways. It is a major hub for flights to/from Africa and South America, primarily Brazil.
The airport is expected to be shut down after the Lisbon Luís de Camões Airport is fully operational, scheduled to 2034.[9] However the announcement should be taken cautiously and in historical context as plans for a new airport to Lisbon have been set forth and then postponed for at least five decades.[10][11][12]
It is one of the most congested airports of Europe and one of the only major airports to have an approach path directly over the city, leading to noise pollution.[13][14][15]
