Context & Explainers
Humberto Delgado Airport is Lisbon's main airport (the Aeroporto Humberto Delgado), serving as Portugal's busiest international gateway and handling roughly 30 million passengers in the pre-pandemic period. For travellers and residents it matters because capacity and operational issues there directly affect flight delays, connections and the availability of routes.

Portugal’s National Institute of Statistics (INE) estimated January inflation at 1.9% year‑on‑year, down 0.3 percentage points from December, which affects rents, wages and everyday purchasing power for residents.
