The decision was taken due to the increase in passenger traffic across Europe

Terminal 2 at Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado Airport has resumed operations after its closure on March 30, 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

During its closure, the country’s airport authority ANA, who manage the facility, used the opportunity to improve and modernise parts of the terminal including an expansion of the non-Schengen boarding area, redesign of sanitary facilities, creation of a new waiting area and the provision of a smoking room.

Additionally, in partnership with the Foreigners and Border service, five new egates will be available for passengers of legal age, with electronic European passports or Portuguese citizen cards.

The resumption of operations at the terminal will allow the airlines who previously used the facility to return such as Transavia, easyJet, Ryanair and Wizz Air.
