Faro Airport is with over 6 million passengers a year Portugal's third-busiest airport, after Lisbon and Porto. The airport is a major hub for Ryanair which has 7 aircraft based here since 2010 and it is a large tourist destination: it gets very busy in the summer months, from March till October.
Faro Airport is not a large airport so there are not many flights departing here. There are only a few destinations that you can reach from Faro Airport, most of these are operated by TAP Portugal. Many people take a flight to Lisbon and transfer to another flight there.
