## Description

One paved 920-metre runway, runway lighting and a 5,700 kg MTOW ceiling define the operating envelope at Aerodromo Municipal de Coimbra (ICAO LPCO), a general aviation field in central Portugal with no scheduled airlines and no cargo terminal. Air freight for the Coimbra region therefore moves through Porto Francisco Sá Carneiro (OPO), about 110 km to the north, or Lisbon (LIS), roughly 200 km to the south, both of which offer customs clearance, belly cargo on intercontinental services and dedicated cargo handling. The A1 motorway links the city directly to both, giving road feeder service times of roughly one and two hours respectively. For multimodal moves the port of Figueira da Foz sits about 40 km west, while the container port of Leixões near Porto is around 110 km away. As Portugal is inside the EU customs union, intra-EU shipments need no import clearance, whereas third-country goods are cleared at OPO or LIS. Day-to-day traffic consists of flight training, private aviation, air ambulance work and seasonal firefighting aircraft. Shippers who see Coimbra named on an air waybill should read it as a delivery address rather than an airport of destination.
