context_page_description: Horta Airport is an airport located in the parish of Castelo Branco, 9.5 km southwest of the center of Horta, on Faial Island in the archipelago of the Azores. The airport was remodeled and reinaugurated in December 2001, in order to serve the islands of the Central Group, as well as expanded to support domestic connectivity to Lisbon.
  It is an important economic tool in the economy of the region, and vital connection to the smaller aerodromes in the outlying islands. Currently, there are plans to expand the runways by 275 m, and night time air flight services have been approved.
context_section_description: The three-story terminal building is divided operationally, with departures and arrivals on the same floor (street-level), cafe and lounge on the first floor and runway-level departures lounge and logistics. The street-level departures and arrivals concourses are situated on opposite ends of the terminal; flight checkins, baggage check and oversize security in the western wing, while in the east is the enclosed arrivals lounge with one baggage carousal, and car rental services. The runway-level departures lounge and arrivals is connected directly to the street-level by staircase and escalators respectively.
  The first-floor cafe/lounge is marked by an exterior observation deck, with view of the runway, control tower and distant island of Pico.
