Porto and Faro airports were the ones that recorded the highest traffic in Portugal in the first quarter of the year, according to Vinci Airports, concessionaire of ANA Aeroportos de Portugal, revealing that, between January and March, nearly 73 million passengers were registered in the airport infrastructures managed by the company.

“Almost 73 million passengers passed through the airports of the VINCI Airports network in the first quarter of 2025, 4 million more than in 2024 (+6%)”, says a statement from Vinci Airports, which explains that the growth was “mainly driven by Asia and the return of traffic with China to levels above pre-Covid levels”.

Among the highlights are the Portuguese airports managed by Vinci Airports, which showed, in the first three months of 2025 a traffic growth of 2.4%, and, taking into account only the month of March, the increase in traffic was 2.0%.

“In Portugal, Porto and Faro airports recorded high levels of traffic, thanks to increased offers from Ryanair and Transavia,” said Vinci Airports, in a statement.

In the information released, Vinci Airports highlights the “significant increase in traffic in Europe”, mainly “in airports that benefit from the dynamism of low-cost airlines”, as is the case in Portugal.
