Porto airport new facilities |
Airport transfer service in Porto with new facilities |
“After finishing the terminal works, we were able to offer a list of facilities that originally didn’t exist here at Porto,” said Vieira.
“New check-in desks, bridge gates, luggage sorting systems, more customs and immigration positions and more aircraft parking places have given all our stakeholders better conditions in which to operate,” he added.
The new facility offers an additional pair of luggage carousels, increased check-in space and much more room for retail and catering. Developments also included construction of a two-level, 1,000 space underground car park, plus an additional 500 parking spaces above ground.
Created by Portuguese architects ICQ, the new terminal’s striking design features large glazed skylights, providing plenty of natural daylight to enhance the airy feel of the building. The project also incorporated construction of a new control tower and opening a new cargo centre at the western end of the runway.
These new facilities have had considerable impact on the airport’s operations and efficiency, says Vieira. And according to ANA’s own figures, Porto consistently performs better in terms of passenger satisfaction than its other airports at Lisbon, Faro and Ponte Delgada on the Azores, as well as exceeding the international average. |
