Did you know that making a stopover at an airport may require paying a fee?

SAPO Notícias31 August 2026 at 16:49

The airport in Lima, Peru, began applying a fee to passengers making stopovers at the facility. The measure aims to compensate the airport for the efforts and additional costs associated with passengers' stay during stopovers. This approach emerges as a possible solution to the congestion problems faced by various international airports. In the Portuguese case, the question arises regarding Portela airport in Lisbon, which frequently faces traffic jams and saturation issues. The idea would be that the fee could discourage unnecessary stopovers and contribute to better management of passenger flow.
