Beja Airport / Airbase

Beja Airport, also used as a military airbase, serves the city of Beja in Portugal's Alentejo region. Its two runways sit at 636 feet of elevation, supporting a dual civil and military role common in Portugal, where the air force shares infrastructure with limited commercial or charter flights. Beja sits in the heart of the Alentejo, a region known for its wide plains, cork production, and olive groves, well south of Lisbon. The airport's runway capacity gives it more room than many Portuguese regional fields, though scheduled passenger service through BYJ stays limited compared with the country's main airports in Lisbon, Porto, and Faro.
