Departing from Amsterdam
Private jets from Amsterdam depart from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS / EHAM) via the dedicated private aviation terminal, which operates separately from the commercial terminals. Schiphol's private facilities offer efficient handling and fast customs processing. The airport is 17 km southwest of central Amsterdam.
Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM / EHRD) is an alternative for clients based in Rotterdam, The Hague or south Holland: a smaller facility but fast and well-suited to light and midsize jet departures.
Lisbon Arrival
Private jets arrive at Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS / LPPT), 7 km north of central Lisbon. The FBO terminal handles private arrivals separately from commercial passengers: customs is fast and ground transport easily arranged. Transfer times to the Baixa, Chiado or Alfama districts: 15–25 minutes. For Cascais and Estoril, allow 40–50 minutes.
Cascais Aerodrome (CAT / LPCS), 30 km west of Lisbon, is an alternative arrival point for smaller aircraft, ideal for clients heading directly to Cascais, Estoril or the coastline south of Sintra.

The Dutch-Portuguese Connection
The Netherlands and Portugal have a long historical connection, and the modern relationship is no less strong.
