Faro Airport

Airport, Algarve News

Faro Airport (FAO) is the Algarve's international gateway, handling over nine million passengers annually. Located four kilometres west of Faro city centre, it serves as the primary arrival point for tourists and residents travelling from across Europe. The airport has one terminal building with arrivals and departures on separate levels. Car hire companies operate from a dedicated centre across the road from the terminal. Bus services connect the airport to Faro city centre and to the main coastal towns. The airport's single runway and terminal capacity are under increasing pressure during peak summer months, and expansion plans have been discussed for years without resolution.
