Humberto Delgado Airport, more commonly known as Lisbon Airport, serves as the principal gateway to Portugal's capital. Situated just northeast of the city's historic centre, it is a vital international hub. The airport handles tens of millions of passengers annually, placing it among Europe's busiest airports.

It plays a crucial role for TAP Air Portugal and supports numerous other airlines, acting as a significant connection point for journeys to South America and Africa. While the airport faces challenges with congestion and noise pollution due to its flight paths over the city, it remains a central organ of Lisbon's infrastructure, with plans for a new facility to eventually take its place.
