Location

Horta, Portugal

Horta Airport (IATA: HOR, ICAO: LPHR) serves the city of Horta on Faial Island, part of the Azores autonomous region of Portugal. It is one of several airports operated by ANA Aeroportos de Portugal across the Azores, providing essential connectivity for residents and tourists visiting the mid-Atlantic island group. The airport handles domestic inter-island flights as well as scheduled connections to mainland Portugal. Its location on a small island in the North Atlantic means weather conditions, particularly wind and fog, can significantly affect operations. The facility supports both commercial aviation and general aviation traffic.

Terminals

The airport operates a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes typical of a regional island airport.
