Horta Airport (IATA: HOR, ICAO: LPHR) is situated on Faial Island, which is part of the Azores archipelago in Portugal. It specifically serves the town of Horta.
One of the most distinctive features of Horta Airport is its relatively short runway. The length of the runway is approximately 1,532 meters (5,029 feet). This makes it a unique challenge, especially for larger aircraft.

Horta Airport primarily serves local and regional flights, connecting Faial Island to other Azores islands and mainland Portugal.
Due to its historical role as a refueling and stopover point for transatlantic flights, Horta Airport has played a significant part in the aviation history of the Azores and transatlantic travel.
