ANA Aeroportos de Portugal, a VINCI Airports subsidiary, has signed a EUR 233 million (US$ 244 million) contract with a consortium including Mota-Engil, VINCI Construction Grands Projets, Alves Ribeiro, and HCI, to enhance the passenger experience and streamline operations at Lisbon airport.

This investment plan involves:

• The expansion of Terminal 1 with a new 33,000 sq. meter South Pier, designed with high-environmental-performance objectives;
• The construction of 10 boarding bridges and 12 aircraft parking stands;
• The remodeling of the existing Central Pier and the connection to the future South Pier; and
• The redesign of the entire South bus gates.

The Terminal 1 upgrade will:

• Enhance passenger comfort by enlarging the terminal boarding in direct contact with the terminal and providing direct access to aircraft;
• Improve airport operational performance; and
• Reduce the airport’s carbon footprint with high-energy-performance infrastructure and less vehicle traffic on the apron.

This investment is part of VINCI Airports’ drive to expand connections in Portugal while upgrading the quality of service it provides for passengers. ANA has invested EUR 120 million (US$ 126 million) in the country’s airports so far in 2024. The works are expected to be completed by 2027.
