The works of the Operational Improvement Plan at Humberto Delgado Airport, in Lisbon, have been underway since early 2025. In this landmark project led by ANA – Aeroportos de Portugal | VINCI Airports, Engexpor is leading the construction management, coordination, and supervision services, ensuring compliance with the highest standards of quality, safety, and sustainability.
This investment of over €233 million will strengthen the quality of service provided to passengers, the airport’s operational efficiency, and its environmental performance. Key interventions include the construction of the new South Pier (33,000 m²), the redesign of the Central Pier and the South Busgate area, as well as the installation of 10 new boarding bridges, which will offer greater passenger comfort and reduce the need for bus transportation. The South Pier project also includes the use of natural lighting and photovoltaic panels, aiming to achieve LEED Gold environmental certification.
The construction work is being carried out by a consortium formed by four major construction companies – Mota-Engil, Vinci Construction Grands Projects, Alves Ribeiro, and HCI.
“This project is a significant milestone for Lisbon and for the airport sector in Portugal. Engexpor is very proud to contribute to the development of an infrastructure that connects people and promotes progress, aligned with the highest standards of sustainability. It is a large-scale and complex project, with a significant volume of construction taking place in an operating airport,” says Tiago Barros, Managing Director of Engexpor in Portugal.
This is the third major project entrusted to Engexpor by VINCI Airports, following the company’s involvement in two major projects in Brazil: the renovation and expansion of Salvador da Bahia International Airport, and the concession of the North Block of seven airports in Brazil (in the cities of Manaus, Tefé, Tabatinga, Rio Branco, Cruzeiro do Sul, Porto Velho, and Boa Vista), further strengthening their strategic collaboration and Engexpor’s role as a trusted partner in large-scale undertakings.
