Context & Explainers
Airport slots are time-limited permissions to take off or land at congested airports during specific time windows, managed under national and international rules so capacity is used efficiently. At busy airports where slots are scarce, releases or trades of slots (for example after an airline reduces operations) let other carriers expand routes, which is why easyJet would want slots freed at Lisbon.
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.
Luís de Camões Airport is a proposed new airport project in Portugal, named after the national poet, currently going through environmental and licensing assessments. The operator (ANA) submitted the first environmental report as part of the concession timetable in early 2026, so the project is still in the planning and approval stage rather than in construction.
