Practical information about renting a private jet in Portugal with AEROAFFAIRES

In Portugal, the main business airports are subject to specific rules to guarantee the fluidity and safety of private flights. The hubs at Lisbon Humberto Delgado (LIS/LPPT), Porto Francisco Sá-Carneiro (OPO/LPPR), Faro International (FAO/LPFR) and Cascais Tires (CAT/LPCS) have VIP terminals with services dedicated to business aviation, including private lounges, secure parking, personalized handling and facilities for customs and immigration formalities.

Aircraft types range from light jets (Cessna Citation Mustang, Phenom 300) to long-haul aircraft (Falcon 8X, Global Express), including VIP cabs and helicopters. Each of these airports is equipped to welcome business flights in optimal conditions.

As far as slot management is concerned, Lisbon, Porto and Faro are coordinated airports with regulated slot allocation via the Portuguese Slot Coordination (slots.nav.pt).
