[LPPT] – Lisbon Airport – Tower! Simulator 3

IATA: LIS; ICAO: LPPT – Welcome to Lisbon Airport, officially known as Humberto Delgado Airport and commonly called after its previous name (Portela Airport), is the major aviation hub of Portugal and the one serving Lisbon, the Portuguese capital. Let’s find out how you control the 12th largest airport as of 2023 in Europe in terms of passenger volume.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lisbon is easily one of my favorite EU airports in the game. Managing the cross-Atlantic flights to Brazil alongside the local TAP traffic is a huge challenge. The 3D modeling on the terminal entrance and that massive taxi bridge is super impressive—it looks exactly like the real thing from the tower view.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was blown away by the detail here. Looking out from the tower and seeing the Vasco da Gama Bridge in the distance at night is a total vibe. The hand-placed taxi lights and the glow from the city make night shifts feel so immersive. Plus, it runs super smooth on my rig without any of the lag you get in some of the bigger US hubs.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ LPPT is surprisingly tightly-packed! You really have to be on your game with the ground commands to avoid standoffs near the terminal.
