Lisbon Luís de Camões Airport timeline

Overview

The July 2026 technical reports confirmed a €7.9‑€8.9 billion price tag (2024 prices) for the new Luís de Camões Airport at Alcochete, with construction slated to start in 2029, structural completion by 2033 and an operational opening projected for 2035. The design includes two runways, a 500,000 m² terminal with 64 gates and an initial capacity of 56 million passengers per year.

Parliamentary briefings highlighted a dedicated high‑speed rail link delivering a 20‑minute city‑centre connection, with rail service expected to begin in 2034 and to carry up to 20 million passengers annually. An environmental impact study, finalised by ANA and submitted to the Portuguese Environment Agency on 1 August 2026, comprises a 5,000‑page report prepared by more than 60 specialists. It examines water, noise, ecosystems, air quality, health and socio‑economic effects, and reaffirms the 2035 opening target, earlier than an earlier mid‑2027 estimate. The Portuguese Order of Architects will collaborate with ANA to select the airport’s architectural teams. The study also set a financial‑report deadline for 17 January 2027 and a concession‑application deadline for January 2028.
