About This Airport

1,460 metres of asphalt, 30 metres wide, sum up the capability of Castelo Branco Aerodrome (ICAO LPCB) in Portugal's inland Beira Baixa region: enough for light aircraft, flight training and summer firefighting operations, but well short of what freighter traffic requires. Opened in August 2013 and equipped with an AFIS flight information service since 2021, the field also offers a hangar of roughly 1,000 square metres for resident and visiting aircraft. There are no scheduled airlines and no cargo terminal, so air freight for the region is trucked to Lisbon (LIS), about 230 km to the southwest, or Porto (OPO), roughly 250 km to the northwest, both reached via the A23 motorway. Shipments oriented towards Spain sometimes route through Madrid-Barajas (MAD), around 330 km east. Portugal's EU membership means intra-Union goods need no import clearance, while third-country consignments are cleared at LIS, OPO or MAD. A recent apron extension costing close to one million euros adds parking capacity for general aviation and firefighting aircraft rather than for freight operations.
