New Airport Developments
According to ANA, the managing body for Portugal's airports, the new Lisbon airport (NAL) will not be completed before November 2036. However, this timeline can be expedited to June 2037 if certain optimizations are approved by the Government. The estimated cost for this project is €8.5 billion, which may also lead to higher fees.
Government Involvement
The project’s commencement hinges on the government’s agreement to allow the execution phase to begin approximately four months prior to the final approval of the NAL. Additionally, there needs to be a compensation plan in place for any alterations or cancellations of contracts.
This delay and reliance on governmental support highlight the complexities involved in large-scale infrastructure projects in Portugal, raising questions about future air travel capacity in the region.
