ANA Aero Porto de Portugal ( ANA) is the Portuguese state airport operator, who is responsible for seven airports in the country. The company's headquarters is located at Lisbon Portela Airport.

History

The now organized as a private law stock corporation owned by the state -run ANA was created in 1998 from the split of the former officially run Aero Portos e Navegação Aérea EP in ANA and the authority responsible for civil air traffic control Navegação Aérea de Portugal (NAV Portugal), which will continue to operate as a public authority.

Airports

ANA operates three civil airports in mainland Portugal (Lisbon Portela Airport and Porto airport Faro Airport ) and four airports in the Azores ( Flores Airport, Horta airport, Ponta Delgada Airport and the Santa Maria airport); also a civilian terminal at the military airfield Beja is operated on the mainland. The airports of ANA produced in 2010 a total of 25.9 million passengers per year (of which 14.1 million alone in Lisbon).

Over the 70 - % - subsidiary ANAM ( Aero Portos e Navegação Aérea da Madeira, SA ) the airports of Madeira and Porto Santo are operated on the island of Madeira. A 49 - % stake in the Macau airport, the 15 - year concession expired in September 2011, was sold to the Chinese partner in the summer of 2011.
