Illustration: Luís de Camões Airport Observatory (original work). Not to scale; not the airport design.

The figures are not directly comparable. The 2024 announcement gave €6,105 million for two runways, without stating scope or price base; the 2026 estimate covers ANA’s airport project at 2024 prices. The observatory shows them side by side but does not subtract one from the other.
