€233 million of modernisation works to begin at Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport

A consortium, including ANA Aeroportos de Portugal (Portugal’s airport authority), has signed a €233 million contract to modernise Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport.

The work, which is expected to be completed by 2027, includes:

• The construction of 10 boarding bridges and 12 aircraft parking stands;
• The remodelling of the existing Central Pier and the connection to the future South Pier;
• The redesign of all the South bus gates.

Alongside this, a major upgrade of Terminal 1 is foreseen, including a new 33,000 sq. metre South Pier designed with sustainability in mind. Additional, the Terminal 1 upgrade will enlarge the terminal, providing direct access to aircrafts – thus improving airport operational performance. With this high-energy performance infrastructure and less vehicle traffic on the apron, the expansion will reduce the airport’s overall carbon footprint.
