After five decades of deliberations and research on potential sites, the Government has directed ANA – Aeroportos de Portugal ("ANA"), the operator of the Portuguese airports, to move forward with the planning and development of a new airport in Lisbon to replace the current Humberto Delgado Airport.
The new Lisbon airport, to be named Luís de Camões Airport, will be situated in Alcochete, selected by an independent technical commission appointed by the Government for its public land availability, proximity to Lisbon and transportation connections.
Under the concession agreement signed in 2012 between the Portuguese government and ANA, the responsibility for building the new Lisbon airport was designated to ANA. This condition was a requirement for the acquisition of ANA by the French infrastructure company VINCI, as part of the privatisation process of ANA.
On 17 December 2024, ANA submitted the initial report ("ANA Report"), which outlines the projections, technical details, schedules and financing structure following the concession agreement. The Government announced its position on the ANA Report on 17 January 2025.
