NEWS! - Scenery Update : LPPT - Lisbon Airport v1.4 by MK Studios

 

 

Humberto Delgado Airport is quite a mouthful to say to a taxi driver. Known locally as Portela Airport, it is actually an international airport that is located seven kilometres (four nautical miles) northeast of the city centre of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.

 

LPPT is the 14th-largest airport in Europe in terms of passenger volume, and carries 190,700 tonnes of cargo. Lisbon Airport is also the main European hub to Brazil (they speak the same language), so it is also the largest European Star Alliance hub to South America, and LPPT is an important European hub to Africa.

 

The airport is also the main hub of Portugal's flag carrier TAP Air Portugal, including its subsidiary TAP Express, as well as being a hub for low-cost airlines Ryanair and easyJet. It is a focus city for Azores Airlines, euroAtlantic Airways, Hi Fly and White Airways. The airport is run by ANA Aeroportos de Portugal, which was concessioned to the French group Vinci SA in February 2013.

 

This custom scenery of Lisbon Airport was released by MK Studios in March 2019, it has had a few updates, but this one is the X-Plane 12 transition in v1.4, and the airport now has X-Plane 12 effects and details. Included are nice additions besides the airport is the amount of local Lisbon infrastructure, including the Castelo de S. Jorge, Ponte 25 de Abril Bridge and the massive Vasco da Gama bridge.
