Location

Aveiro, Portugal

São Jacinto Airfield, designated ICAO code LPAV, is a small military and general aviation airfield located near the town of São Jacinto on the Aveiro Lagoon (Ria de Aveiro) in central Portugal. It serves primarily military training and light general aviation purposes rather than commercial passenger operations. The airfield is situated on a narrow peninsula between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ria de Aveiro, giving it a distinctive coastal setting. Due to its limited infrastructure and military nature, it does not handle scheduled commercial airline traffic.

Getting to & from

Access to São Jacinto requires crossing the Ria de Aveiro by ferry from Aveiro city, as the peninsula has no direct road bridge connection.
