History
Early years

The airport opened on 15 October 1942, during World War II, and initially operated in conjunction with the Cabo Ruivo Seaplane Base: seaplanes performed transatlantic flights, and passengers were transferred onto continental flights operating from the new airport.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> As a neutral airport, it was open to both German and British airlines, and was a hub for smuggling people into, out of, and across Europe. It is widely referenced in the classic film Casablanca, whose plot revolves around an escape attempt to Lisbon airport. As such, it was heavily monitored by both Axis and Allied spies. Although Portugal was neutral, the airport was used by allied flights en route to Gibraltar, North Africa and Cairo.<ref name="aw">Template:Cite magazine</ref>
At the end of the war the airport developed rapidly, and by 1946 was used by major airlines such as Air France, British European Airways, Iberia, KLM, Sabena, Pan Am and Trans World Airlines.Template:Citation needed By 1954 the number of passengers reached 100,000.<ref name="aw" /> A 1951–1952 airport diagram shows four runways laid out at 45-degree angles: Template:Cvt Runway 5, Template:Cvt Runway 9, Template:Cvt Runway 14, and Template:Cvt Runway 18. Runways 5 and 36 were each later extended northward to a length of Template:Cvt.<ref>Aviation Week 28 January 1952 p68</ref> Major upgrades from 1959 to 1962 included a new runway capable of handling the first generation of jets, such as the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8.<ref name="aw" /> The first jet aircraft flight was an Air France Caravelle in 1960.<ref name="aw" /> In 1962 runway 02/20 came into use. It was Template:Cvt long and would allow direct transatlantic flights.<ref name="aw" /> The first direct flight to New York was operated by TWA with a Boeing 707, who later operated the first Boeing 747 service in 1970.<ref name="aw" /> When TAP ordered the 747 in 1972, five large parking bays were built, and the terminal was enlarged.<ref name="aw" /> A major upgrade to the buildings and facilities commenced in 1983, and the first air bridges were added in 1991.<ref name="aw" />
Along with the airports in Porto, Faro, Ponta Delgada, Santa Maria, Horta, Flores, Madeira, and Porto Santo, the airport's concessions to provide support to civil aviation were conceded to ANA Aeroportos de Portugal on 18 December 1998, under provisions of decree 404/98. With this concession, ANA became responsible for the planning, development and construction of future infrastructure.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Airport expansion
The construction of Terminal 2 was concluded and operational since August 2007. Expansion of Terminal 1 with new boarding gates was concluded in 2011. A large new shopping and restaurant area, new airbridges and parking positions, a more efficient use of currently existing structures, and a new underground Lisbon Metro station were inaugurated in July 2012.Template:Citation needed In October 2010, easyJet opened a new base at Lisbon Airport, using Terminal 2 for departures. In 2022, the airline moved to Terminal 1.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Between 2007 and 2013, Lisbon Airport underwent several structural and equipment improvements and expansions. These included the construction of Terminal 2, lighting and baggage claim refurbishment, new cargo facilities, fuel storage, north pier and boarding lounge, north bus gate and baggage claim, enlargement of express cargo facilities, electrical refurbishments, departure lounge refurbishments and underground station and other terminal improvements all of which have been completed.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> In July 2013, a new commercial area was inaugurated in the Terminal 1 air side area with 20 new stores and spacious naturally lighted internal circulation areas.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In July 2015, a significantly larger food court was introduced, catering to more tastes and delicacies.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In January 2019, Portugal's government unveiled a €1.1 billion plan to expand the airport.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Although the airport is at capacity, the expansion faces opposition due to impacts on pollution and noise.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Construction began in December 2024 on the expansion of Terminal 1, with 10 new jet bridges and more space for apron.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The expansion project is expected to be completed by 2027 and increase the airport's capacity to receive up to 50 million passengers per year.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Planned closure
The airport is expected to be shut down after the Lisbon Luís de Camões Airport, in the current site of the Field Firing Range of Alcochete, Template:Convert by road from Lisbon, is fully operational, expected in 2034.<ref name=newairport/><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="whig.com">Template:Cite web</ref>
Initially, the airport was to be replaced by the Ota Airport, a planned airport in Ota, a village Template:Convert north of Lisbon. In 2007, an independent study coordinated by the Portuguese Industry Confederation (CIP) suggested a site in Alcochete Municipality as an alternative location. The site is occupied by a military training facility, which would be moved to another location. A second government-contracted study led by the National Laboratory of Civil Engineering (LNEC)<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> concluded in late 2007 that Alcochete was the best location. The selection of Alcochete was announced on 10 January 2008, more than 35 years after the first capacity increase studies were initiated. The Portuguese government announced that Alcochete was the preliminary choice, to be finalised after public consultation.<ref>Alcochete airport announcement, in Portuguese Template:Webarchive</ref><ref>Portugal's new Lisbon airport to be built in Alcochete for 4.9 bln eur – PM from Forbes online, 10 January 2008</ref> The location of Alcochete as the construction site of the future Lisbon Airport was confirmed by the government on 8 May 2008,<ref>Portal do Governo Template:Webarchive. Portugal.gov.pt.</ref> but the contract was shelved as part of Portugal's cost-cutting austerity measures, and completely dismissed from Portugal's transportation strategy plans in July 2013, with investment being concentrated on expanding and further improving the existing Lisbon Airport infrastructure.<ref>"O novo aeroporto de Lisboa é na Portela", diz secretário de Estado dos Transportes – PÚBLICO Template:Webarchive. Publico.pt (17 July 2013).</ref>
Naming
In February 2015, Lisbon city council unanimously agreed to propose that the name of Lisbon International Airport, known as Portela due to its geographical location, be changed to Humberto Delgado Airport. The proposal, tabled by the Socialist leadership under former Mayor António Costa, was agreed to by councillors from across party lines.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
The Portuguese government under then Prime Minister António Costa, announced in February 2016 that Lisbon Portela Airport would be renamed on 15 May 2016 after Humberto Delgado, in memory of the late Portuguese air force general and famous politician. "He was an opposition figure to the dictatorship regime... and had a very important role in the field of civil aviation," Minister of Planning and Infrastructure Pedro Marques said at a press conference after the meeting of Council of Ministers, stressing that it was Humberto Delgado who presided over the foundation of Portugal's flagship airline TAP and "so it is very fair this assignment name to the airport". 2016 marks the 110th anniversary of the birth of Humberto Delgado, who was also known as the "Fearless General" due to his staunch opposition to Salazar's rule and his participation in the 1958 Portuguese presidential election.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Terminals
Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport features two passenger terminal buildings:<ref name="terminals">Template:Cite web</ref>
Terminal 2 is used by six scheduled low-cost flight airlines for departures to European destinations, while Terminal 1 handles all arrivals and regular scheduled and chartered flights. A free shuttle bus connects the two and runs every ten minutes.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Terminal 1
Terminal 1 is the main building and features large landside and airside areas containing several shops and service facilities. It consists of two check-in halls, the older one has been converted into TAP Air Portugal's self check-in area, and the newer one housing 68 desks (37–89 and 90–106). The joint departures area features 47 gates (17 of which are equipped with jet-bridges) with 21 of them designated to non-Schengen destinations.<ref name="terminals" /> As the airport features several more apron stands, bus boarding is often used here. Most airlines use Terminal 1, including TAP Air Portugal, its Star Alliance partners, Oneworld and SkyTeam members, and, exceptionally, easyJet.
Terminal 2
Terminal 2 is the much smaller, newer of the two terminals in the airport, used exclusively by low-cost carrier except EasyJets. It is located away from Terminal 1 on the southern border of the airport perimeter. It has 22 check-in desks (201–222), designated to each particular low-cost carrier, and 10 departure gates (201–207 Schengen and 210-212 Non Schengen. ) using mainly walk boarding but also bus. There are only standard facilities, a few shops and service counters. The terminal is reachable via the free airport shuttle service from Terminal 1.<ref name="terminals"/> The users of Terminal 2 are Ryanair, Wizz Air, Transavia, Transavia France, Vueling, Eurowings,Norwegian Air Shuttle and Volotea.
