Porto (Aveiro) : introduction
Portugal’s second-largest city and the capital of the north, Porto boasts UNESCO-listed quaysides along the Douro, port wine cellars and Baroque architecture. Its Francisco Sá Carneiro airport, some ten kilometers northwest of the city center, boasts a 3,480-meter runway and a premium FBO capable of handling all types of private jets. Business aviation access to Aveiro, the “Portuguese Venice” renowned for its canals and moliceiros, is via Porto, some 70 kilometers to the south, as the local Aveiro airfield is not certified for civil traffic. Between heritage, gastronomy and the Côte d’ Argent, the region attracts a clientele in search of art de vivre and authenticity. Find out all about Porto airport with AEROAFFAIRES.
