The air zone commands have the mission of planning, supervising and controlling the readiness of the air power resources and the air activity in their areas of responsibility. They are also responsible for guaranteeing, under the terms established in international agreements, the relationships with the foreign forces stationed at the bases under their hierarchic authority. Presently, only the [[Azores Air Zone Command]] is active, having the [[Lajes Air Base]] under its command. The Madeira Air Zone Command is also foreseen in the Air Force organization, but it is not yet active, with the units located in the [[Madeira]] isles (Porto Santo Airfield and Pico do Arieiro Radar Station) staying under the direct command of the CA.
