The Portuguese government is urging airport operator ANA to deliver the new greenfield Luís de Camões Airport, intended to replace the capacity‑constrained Humberto Delgado Airport, with a target opening in 2034.
Construction of the airport has not yet begun after 28 years of planning that examined sites north and south of Lisbon without success, and the chosen site lies close to environmentally protected areas, meaning only conditional approval is expected after a strategic environment assessment; a partial sale of TAP Air Portugal to a European airline consortium could see operations from an airport sharing a nature reserve.
