Lisbon airport: ILS for runway 02 out of service from 16 to 26 November 2026 for equipment replacement

The instrument landing system (ILS) for runway 02 at Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport is scheduled to be out of service from 08:00 UTC on 16 November until 22:59 UTC on 26 November 2026 while the equipment is replaced, according to the airport events listing published by EUROCONTROL.

The entry says an RNP approach, a satellite-based procedure, remains available for runway 02. If low-visibility procedures are in force, ILS Category II/III will only be available for runway 20, which will then be the runway in use. The event is marked as having an impact on operations.

An ILS gives aircraft precise guidance on final approach and matters most in fog or low cloud. With the runway 02 system out of service, the listing indicates that in poor visibility Lisbon will rely on runway 20, the opposite direction of the same runway, for precision approaches.

The same listing shows that taxiways R1, R2 and T1 remain closed around the clock because of works that began on 2 September, and that the extension of apron 10 and the construction of a new apron 23 are scheduled to continue until 31 August 2027.

The listing does not say whether any flights will be delayed, retimed or diverted; that will depend on the weather during the period. Passengers flying to or from Lisbon between 16 and 26 November should keep an eye on their flight status with their airline, particularly on days of fog or low cloud.
