## Description

Portugal's busiest general-aviation airport after Lisbon and Porto handles private jets, not freighter pallets: Cascais Airport (IATA: CAT, ICAO: LPCS) sits at Tires, about 20 km west of central Lisbon. A single 1,400-metre asphalt runway (17/35) serves business aviation, private flights and four flight schools. There is no commercial cargo operation; air freight for the Lisbon region is consolidated at Lisbon Humberto Delgado (LIS), the nearest full cargo gateway. For forwarders, CAT is a business and training field rather than a cargo handler.
