A coordinator of the Independent Technical Commission (CTI) stated, on Monday, that the report on the new airport “has a very solid basis” for a decision and the president of the Monitoring Committee said he had not been contacted by the PSD.
“The decision maker [que será agora o próximo Governo] has in its hands, with this report, a very well-founded report that leaves very few doubts because it has all the possible answers“, said Maria do Rosário Partidário, from the Independent Technical Commission (CTI), in statements to journalists, after a meeting with António Costa.
What does the CTI report say?
CTI published on March 11th the final report of the strategic environmental assessment of the new airport, maintaining the recommendation of a unique solution in Alcochete or Vendas Novasbut pointed out that Humberto Delgado + Santarém “could be a solution”.
In this solution, the commission refers to Santarém as a “complementary airport to AHD (Humberto Delgado), but with a limited number of movements, not allowing the necessary airport capacity to be met in the long term”, but “it would have the advantage of allowing it to be overcome in the short term conditions created by the concession contract, with the added advantage of private financing”.
The final report is available on the website aeroparticipa.pt.
When will a decision be made?
The PSD decided to set up an internal working group to analyze the location of the new Lisbon airport, after agreeing with the PS to set up a CTI to carry out the strategic environmental assessment.
The social democratic president, Luís Montenegro, guaranteed that the decision will be taken “in the first days” of Government.
The location of the new Lisbon airport has been discussed and the Independent Technical Commission has already pointed out and explained which are the most favorable options. The Portuguese Tourism Confederation is “concerned” about the possible period of government “instability” and what impacts this could have on the choice.
