The proposal for 2025 is an increase of 2.85%, equivalent to 0.45 euros per passenger, according to Negócios. Airports in the Azores and Madeira will not be included.
The proposal to update regulated taxes for 2025 was presented to airlines and now needs to be approved by the National Civil Aviation Authority, according to a report by ECO.
The concessionaire explains that in 2025 the Maximum Average Regulated Revenue (MMRR) that it is authorised to charge for the airports in the Lisbon group, which includes Humberto Delgado and the islands, is 14.63 euros per passenger, but its proposal is “not to increase the regulated fees at the airports in Madeira and the Azores and only to update the fees at Lisbon airport so that the MMRR is reached, which results in an increase of 0.18 euros (plus 1.18%) per passenger”. However, considering the impact of recovering from the 2023 estimate error, the increase in regulated fees at Lisbon airport will be 2.85% or an additional 0.45 euros per passenger.
For Porto and Faro, the proposal is to reduce the fees by 0.9% and 0.4%, respectively. The equivalent of minus 8 cents and 4 cents per passenger.
ANA estimates that it will reach 69.5 million passengers at national airports in 2025, an increase of 17.8% compared to the figure recorded in 2019, but only 2.1% compared to the 68 million it has forecast for 2024. The signs of a slowdown in growth are most visible in Lisbon.
