Information
Public airfield located right next to the beach. Its once long paved runway was cut in half due to the construction/improvement of a road access to the beach, and as such the airfield has now a short runway, and was since 'downgraded' certification-wise to ultra-lights only. It houses the Espinho Air club (ULM's).
Information
Joint military-civilian airfield opened to civilian traffic in 1995, it has been closed 'temporarily' to the latter in 2011, though with no known date of reopening (or if there is actually going to be a reopening at all).
Used to house the Aveiro Air Club, and has a long paved runway in very good condition.
Information
Public airfield certified for ultra-lights. It has its own Air club and a paved runway in excellent conditions.
Information
A minor Portuguese Air Force base, it doesn't have any squadrons permanently assigned to it, so it serves mostly as a logistical military airfield.
Fuel and taxes
ACCV (club) has fuel AVGAS100LL but it can´t be sold. No taxes to tand or park outside. Hangar availlable on demand.
very nice place to visit.
Short field but works in progress to improve taxiways and extend runway
Closed
This runway belongs to a military base and was closed to civil traffic in 2010 or 2011
