Car Hire Faro Airport

Faro Airport is an Algarve based airport that thrives during the tourist season. 8 of its 10 busiest routes are within the UK as people depart the British weather for some summer sun. Opened in 1966 it has undergone 2 major developments but with passenger numbers increasing, further work was carried out between 2009-2013.

By 2019 it was capable of handling 9 million passengers per year and operates with a largely seasonal flight schedule.  Most of Europe is covered by these flights but there are flights to Canada also on the seasonal schedule.

In 2012 the airport won an award for being the most improved airport in Europe.
