ANA Aeroportos de Portugal – a subsidiary of VINCI Airports (a Corporate Partner of the FTE Digital, Innovation & Startup Hub) – has launched a comprehensive €233 million modernisation of Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport. The program, which is expected to be completed by 2027, is designed to enhance the passenger experience and streamline operations at the airport.
The investment plan involves:
- The expansion of Terminal 1 with a new 33,000sqm South Pier, designed with high-environmental-performance objectives.
- 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 the entire South bus gates.
The Terminal 1 upgrade will:
- Enhance passenger comfort by enlarging the terminal and boarding in direct contact with the terminal and providing direct access to aircraft.
- Improve airport operational performance.
- Reduce the airport’s carbon footprint with high-energy performance infrastructure and less vehicle traffic on the apron.
This investment is part of VINCI Airports’ drive to expand connections in Portugal, while upgrading the quality of service it provides for passengers. ANA has invested €120 million in the country’s airports so far in 2024.
