The night flight limit at Lisbon airport was only met in two weeks during the year of 2026, revealing a significant failure in compliance with the imposed restrictions. The regulation that limits air operations during the night period was not respected in the vast majority of weeks of the year.
August emerged as the most critical period for non-compliance with these rules, recording the highest violations of the night flight limit. This situation raised concerns about the authorities' capacity to enforce airport legislation during the busiest months.
The data indicate that Lisbon airport faced persistent difficulties in respecting the established schedules for reducing air operations during the night, which may have an impact on the quality of life of populations residing near the airport infrastructure.
