Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, commonly referred to as Porto Airport, stands as a vital international gateway near Porto, Portugal. Located just 11 kilometers northwest of Porto’s iconic Clérigos Tower, the airport spans across the municipalities of Maia, Matosinhos, and Vila do Conde. It is the second-busiest airport in Portugal based on aircraft operations and passenger traffic, following Lisbon Airport and preceding Faro Airport. Porto Airport serves as a significant base for airlines like easyJet, Ryanair, TAP Air Portugal, and its subsidiary, TAP Express.
This airport has a rich history, having opened in 1945 under the name Pedras Rubras Airport, named after the locality where it is situated. In 1990, it was renamed Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, in honor of the former Portuguese prime minister who tragically lost his life in a plane crash while traveling to this very airport in 1980. Over the years, Porto Airport has undergone notable developments, including the construction of a new terminal building between 2003 and 2006, designed by the Portuguese firm ICQ. This state-of-the-art facility became operational in late 2006, significantly enhancing the airport’s capacity.
Porto Airport achieved a major milestone on December 6, 2017, when it welcomed ten million passengers in a year for the first time. This accomplishment underscores its increasing significance as a key entry point for travelers to Portugal and its beautiful northern regions. With ongoing improvements and its status as a base for several major airlines, Porto Airport continues to play a vital role in the country’s air travel infrastructure, offering passengers a gateway to the charms of Porto and its surroundings.
