Small regional airport serving northeastern Portugal's Trás-os-Montes region.

Location

Bragança, Portugal

Bragança Airport (IATA: BGC, ICAO: LPBG) is a small public airport located near the city of Bragança in the northeastern corner of Portugal, in the historic Trás-os-Montes region. It serves primarily general aviation and occasional scheduled or charter flights connecting the relatively remote area to the rest of Portugal. The airport is operated under the Portuguese civil aviation framework and is situated close to the Spanish border. Due to the region's sparse population and limited demand, commercial scheduled services have been limited or intermittent over the years, with the airport primarily supporting light aircraft, air taxis, and regional connectivity efforts. Bragança itself is known for its medieval castle and historic old town, and the airport has been considered an important infrastructure asset for improving accessibility to this otherwise isolated corner of Portugal.

Terminals

The airport features a small, single terminal building suited to low-volume regional and general aviation traffic.

Getting to & from

Ground transport to Bragança city centre is primarily by road, with taxi and private vehicle being the main options.
