The Novo Aeroporto de Lisboa ( German : New Lisbon Airport , NAL) is the project of a planned commercial airport in the greater area of the Portuguese capital Lisbon . According to the current status of planning in 2017, it should replace or supplement the old Lisbon-Portela Airport . The planning company Novo Aeroporto, SA (NAER) was founded for this purpose. It was planned to start the construction work in late 2010 to early 2011. The project has been postponed indefinitely by the Passos Coelho government due to a lack of funding.
history
In order to be able to cope with the increasing number of flights in the long term, plans have been initiated to build a new airport outside of Lisbon. Several possibilities were discussed: a new building 45 km north near the municipality of Ota in the city of Alenquer , a conversion of the military airfield Base Area No. 6 near Samouco or conversion / expansion of the existing Portela airport.
On May 8, 2008, it was finally officially announced that most of the military firing range Campo de Tiro Alcochete (CTA) of the Força Aérea Portuguesa on the eastern Tejo side north of Alcochete would be located. The decisive factor was, among other things, an existing infrastructure, such as the connection to Lisbon via the Vasco da Gama Bridge . After the completion of the new airport, the old Aeroporto da Portela will be decommissioned and the site will be used for other purposes, although this is not yet safe. The costs are estimated at around 4.9 billion euros.
Project NAL
In its final destination, the future, ultra-modern large airport will be equipped with a total of 4 runways, each 4,000 meters long in north-south direction, 113 aircraft parking positions, and 63 passenger gates, lined up at an X-shaped terminal, are available to passengers. It is connected to the Lisbon – Madrid high-speed line on the one hand and to the Linha do Alentejo , near Pinhal Novo , on the other hand with a railway connection via a branch line . This is why a new third Tejo bridge is necessary, built between the Lisbon district of Marvila and Barreiro on the southern Tejo side.
As of October 2010, however, this project has been downgraded due to the euro financial crisis. Despite all the difficulties, the Portuguese government is currently in the process of continuing the planning process with regard to procurement, planning, financing and exploration. A first step was taken with the publication of a feasibility study in June 2007 and an environmental impact study in October 2010.
After Portela Airport , now renamed Humberto Delgado , reached its capacity limit, the Portuguese Minister of Infrastructure Pedro Marques announced in February 2017 that the Montijo military airfield would be converted for commercial flight operations from 2019. As the second international airport in Lisbon, it should primarily be available for medium-haul and low-cost flights .
