The National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) has introduced new service quality indicators for major Portuguese airports managed by the ANA concessionaire, including Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Funchal, and Ponta Delgada. These updates, implemented in phases starting in September, include more rigorous methods for measuring security screening times and baggage delivery, alongside new performance indicators to increase operational transparency.

Following these regulatory changes, ANA has proposed increases to airport fees at the Faro, Porto, and Lisbon airports, scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027. The proposal, which requires ANAC approval, suggests average increases of 34 cents per passenger for Faro and Porto, and 10 cents for Lisbon. These adjustments relate to airport taxes and exclude any tariff impacts associated with the new Lisbon airport project.
