This section separates stable airport identifiers from live operating data. Codes, coordinates, timezone, elevation, source identifiers, and accepted reference links are retained here; live arrivals, departures, gates, delays, NOTAMs, and airline schedule changes must still be checked with the airport or carrier.

Field and clock profile
Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport is a low-elevation field at 374 ft (114 m), positioned at 38.7813° N, 9.1359° W in the Northern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 12,162 ft / 3,707 m.

City and airport alternatives
Lumiar is the closest retained city-time anchor at 1.9 km. SVQ Seville is the closest retained airport alternative at 322 km.
Country airport peers
LIS has no same-country peer airports retained in the current airport set, so the useful comparison points are its code, coordinates, timezone, and route references.

OurAirports classifies LIS as a large airport with scheduled service, which gives it stronger planning value than a code-only lookup.
LIS (LPPT) is one of the curated airport pages with a real traffic signal attached: 36 million passengers, operating from a low-elevation field at 374 ft (114 m).
LIS sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
LIS's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 12,162 ft / 3,707 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
ANA – Aeroportos de Portugal is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for LIS.
- With more than 36 million passengers per year, it is the 13th-largest airport in Europe in terms of passenger volume.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at lisbonairport.pt, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for LIS
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
LIS uses Europe/Lisbon (WEST, UTC+01:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport is about 6.4 km from central Lisbon; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
SVQ Seville is the closest retained alternate at 322 km, time difference +1h.
When source checks matter
lisbonairport.pt is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place LIS inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
LIS ranks #1 in the curated Portugal airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 1 airport.
Same-zone airport cohort
LIS has no other retained airport in the same IANA zone cohort, making Europe/Lisbon a more distinctive signal for this page.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
LIS is 374 ft (114 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include YOW 374 ft (114 m) (0 ft delta) · MST 375 ft (114 m) (1 ft delta) · OZH 373 ft (114 m) (1 ft delta) · ZIA 377 ft (115 m) (3 ft delta) · OVB 365 ft (111 m) (9 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
LIS's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are SVQ 322 km +1h · AGP 470 km +1h · MAD 513 km +1h.

Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Central Lisbon is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Lisbon is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from LIS, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
