Information

Portuguese Air Force base which never did house any squadrons, has always only served as a logistical support airfield. It was the first airport of the country, serving the capital Lisbon before the construction of the current international airport (LPPT) in 1940. It also houses a secondary exhibition of the "Museu do Ar". The main exhibition is located in Sintra Air Base (LPST).
