<p class="blog-para">Faro International Airport is located 4 kilometres from Faro, the capital city of the Algarve in Portugal. Situated on the southern coast of Portugal, the airport was constructed during the 1960s and inaugurated in 1965. Faro airport was owned by the Portuguese government until the 2010s, when it was purchased by Vinci Group.The national airport authority, ANA Aeroportos de Portugal, has been its operator.Along with the airports in Lisbon, Porto,</p>
<p class="blog-para">Ponta Delgada, Santa Maria, Horta, Flores, Madeira, and Porto Santo, the airports' concessions to provide support to civil aviation were conceded to ANA Aeroportos de Portugal on December 18, 1998, under the provisions of decree 404/98. With this concession, ANA became responsible for the planning, development, and construction of future infrastructure.From its opening in 1966 to the 2000s, Faro airport has had two major developments: the new passenger terminal building in 1989 and its enlargement in 2001. Faced with growing traffic demand and passenger safety and satisfaction needs, the development plan for 2009&ndash;2013 saw Faro airport undergo extensive improvements to the runway and infrastructure, as well as a widespread renovation of the airport terminal and commercial areas. The airport authority announced an expansion programme for Faro airport in February 2010. Phase I of the expansion started in 2010 and was completed by 2011.As of 2019, Faro Airport is capable of handling nine million passengers a year. There are 22 stands, of which 16 are remote, with 60 check-in desks and 36 boarding gates.</p>
<p class="blog-para">In June 2022, it was announced that the airport would carry Gago Coutinho's name in honour of the navigator and admiral who, in 1922, together with the aviator Sacadura Cabral, accomplished the first aerial crossing of the South Atlantic in the seaplane Lusit&acirc;nia, named after the Roman Empire name for what would become Portugal. The airport's name became official in September 2022. At the same time, it was announced the commissioning of a solar power plant with a capacity of 3 MWp, enabling it to produce 30% of the airport's electricity needs, reducing CO2 emissions by more than 1,500 t per year.</p>
