Portkeys and Apparition did not open portals to different locations. It didn't make sense that honestly mediocre wizards and witches could open portals in a fraction of a second with only Destination, Determination, and Deliberation. No, instantaneous travel was more like a giant system that the ministry operated. Whenever a person wanted to apparate, they would be using their wands as a beacon, which would also have the destination in mind, the system would open a portal there, as small as possible to not waste any energy, and the person would temporarily be transfigured into a slim form to go through before they're transfigured back. Everything is calculated by the system, the wizard or witch only had to call the beacon, similar to how the Knight Bus worked. Fawley didn't say who maintained the system or how it was powered, but Harry postulated that it was something the ministry would have to involve themselves in, and it was also probably powered by ley lines. The magic involved wouldn't work with anything else.
