Until the end of the summer season (Oct 29), most aircraft will be limited to max 6 0mins turnaround time (Code A and B aircraft only get 45mins). There’s no NOTAM on this - it’s hidden away in AIP SUP 61/22. Local handlers expect limited summer slots too. For drop-and-go’s and parking elsewhere, LPCS/Cascais or LPFR/Faro is suggested.
