Has the airport been approved?

As of

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

The site has been chosen by law (RCM 66/2024). The airport itself has not been approved: the environmental assessment is open, the concession application is incomplete, and on 28 September 2026 the Government said its response to the technical report was not acceptance of the application.
