Lisbonne Humberto Delgado : Introduction
Whether you’re traveling to Lisbon on business or simply dreaming of tasting the delicious pastels de nata, AEROAFFAIRES offers a private jet rental service at the best possible rates.
Formerly known as Lisbon Portela, Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport is Portugal’s busiest airfield, with over 26 million passengers a year. Lisbon’s preferred alternative for business aviation: Lisbon International Airport (LIS) is saturated and mainly reserved for scheduled commercial flights. For private jet flights, Cascais is used as the gateway.
Portugal’s capital has a coastal and hilly location. From the imposing Castelo de São Jorge (St. George’s Castle), the view embraces the old town’s pastel buildings, the Tagus estuary and the April 25 suspension bridge. Nearby, the National Azulejo Museum traces 5 centuries of decorative ceramics. Just outside Lisbon, a series of Atlantic beaches stretch from Cascais to Estoril.

History of Lisbon Airport
Lisbon Portela Airport was built in 1942 during the Second World War. Alternately occupied by the Germans and the British, it was used extensively for the transport of stowaways and the evacuation of refugees.
At the end of the war, it took on a civilian function and opened up to international traffic. It underwent major renovation and expansion work from 2007 onwards, and was renamed “Humberto Delgado” in 2016 in honor of the founder of TAP Air Portugal.
