The municipal airfield of Ponte de Sor is located in the Portuguese region of Alentejo and was opened on November 17, 2004. Originally, it had an 800-meter-long runway, which was extended to 1,800 meters in 2008. Today, the airfield is an important center for pilot training, aircraft maintenance, and the deployment of firefighting aircraft for forest fire suppression. The site features modern aircraft hangars, training facilities, and a flight control tower opened in 2023. The airfield is also known for the international Portugal Air Summit, where new developments in aviation are presented.
