Increase from 32 mov/h to 36 mov/h
Setting the Capacities to the Traffic Demand
• Aircraft parking:
Increase from 51 positions to 91 positions

The movements and passengers pick day occurred on the 5th of July (Monday), one day after the last game, with a number of 582 movements and 52.270 passengers processed on Lisbon Airport.This values represent respectively an increase of 37% on the movements and 15% on the passengers in relation with the pick day of the year 2003.
11_
Traffic classification for the EURO 2004The expected passenger traffic was divided in three categories related with the type of flights and time of stay in Lisbon, Porto and Faro as follows:
• Passengers flying on regular flights.• Passengers flying on Charter flights to stay 2 or tree days.• Passengers flying on Charter flights to stay only during the day of the
games.
For the passengers who travelled on regular flights, no special procedures were adopted.All the passengers that flew on charter flights were processed through a temporary terminal that was installed for this purpose, located on the area of platforms B or C.
All the flows during pick hours were calculated for a maximum of 7200 pax/h “one way” corresponding to the double of the actual Passengers terminal capacity.
12_
Temporary Terminal
• Area of occupation in the Military Zone;
• Delimitation of the land side piercing;
• Land side AccessesWere assured from th e Maintenance area of the airport, for that purpose was build a road with an extension of 60m that made the connection with the Military Zone ;
In this road the circulation was made only by buses, navettes and maintenance vehicles
13_
Temporary Terminal
• Air side accessesThe Charlie platform (military) functioned as a gyratory platform, it allowed the passenger to disembark by foot;
The Bravo platform, due to its proximity; also allowed that kind of procedure;
That procedure implied less rotation time and a better rationalization of the existent handling equipment;

Local Rules
A set of special rules were implemented to validate "slot requests" for the period of JUNE 10th to JULY 6th, 2004.
• The name of the handling agent had be informed on the slot request. Exception: historical regular flights;

FILTERING OF FLIGHTS WITHOUT AIRPORT SLOTS
To be effective, such measures had to be taken upon receipt of the flight plan each time it did not match with an allocated airport slot.
The action to take would consist of a standard message to the origin of the flight plan calling the aircraft operator´s attention to the imminent violation of the Portuguese CAA regulation.
An agreement has been made between INAC (Instituto Nacional de Aviação Civil) and EUROCONTROL, concerning assistance by CFMU IFPS to ANA in the verification of slot lists by CFMU IFPS, sending an “Alert message” to aircraft operators filing a “Flight Plan” to destination Lisbon, Faro or Porto during EURO2004 without having an “airport slot” allocated by the Portuguese Slot Coordination Unit . The message read as follows:
“No match was found between your flight plan and an allocated airport slot at destination. Therefore according Portugal AIC 02/04 your flight risks either not to be accepted at destination or to be subject to a fine”.
