Ota Airport was the planned site for the new Lisbon airport located in Ota, 50 km (27 nmi; 31 mi) north of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. The project was discussed from the late 1990s until January 2008, when the project was aborted.[1]
The area where the future airport was to be built is occupied by the former Ota Air Base of the Portuguese Air Force. The permanent air operations of this facility were discontinued, but it is still used as the Military and Technical Training Center of the Air Force (CFMTFA).
