Please be advised that there is currently a shortage of private jet slots during Web Summit at Lisbon Airport (LIS) and surrounding smaller airports. Lisbon Airport is experiencing difficulty managing the volume of traffic, resulting in a lack of available take-off and landing slots for all operations.

Some guests, in particular those with larger planes, have found the only viable landing slots during Web Summit are now upwards of two hours’ drive from Lisbon, including in Spain.

These are circumstances outside of our control, and we apologise that we cannot do more to help secure slots. We would strongly advise flying commercial into Lisbon. Web Summit is a convenient 15-minute drive from Lisbon’s main airport.

Thank you, and we apologise for the bad news.
