Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport is the international airport serving Porto, Portugal's second-largest city, and the broader northern region of the country. Named after the Portuguese Prime Minister who died in a plane crash in 1980, it handles tens of millions of passengers annually and serves as a major gateway for both leisure and business travelers. The airport underwent significant expansion and modernization in the early 2000s, with a new terminal designed by architect Eduardo Souto de Moura inaugurated in 2005. This terminal is widely praised for its architectural quality and efficient passenger flow. Porto Airport connects to hundreds of destinations across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East, with a strong emphasis on low-cost carrier traffic. It consistently ranks among the busiest airports in Portugal and the Iberian Peninsula.
