Portimão Airport
PRM, Portimão Airport, is a small airfield near Portimão on Portugal's Algarve coast, distinct from the region's major international gateway at Faro (FAO). PRM primarily handles general aviation, flight training, and light aircraft rather than scheduled commercial airline traffic, serving local flying clubs and occasional charter operations. The airport sits close to the Algarve's popular beach resorts and golf courses, though most tourists arrive via Faro and travel overland to Portimão. PRM's grass or short paved runway and limited facilities reflect its role as a secondary regional airfield rather than a major transport hub, appealing mainly to private pilots and aviation enthusiasts.
