New airport in Algarve |
Good news for property investors as a second airport is announced for Portugal's western Algarve.A new airport, serving the western Algarve, has been given the go-ahead and it is expected to be built near the new international racing circuit, close to Mexilhoeira Grande, in Portimão. Experts at Portugal’s Civil Aviation Authority have given the plans the green light and environmental and financial studies are expected to be completed next month. According to Manuel da Luz, President of Portimão Câmara and of the new Associação de Municípios Lagos-Portimão, the objective is to “attract low cost and private airlines to land in the region so that hotel clients come directly to this specific region”, without the need to use the bus transfer service. It is hoped the airport will attract both low cost and private airlines and will enable more people to visit the hotels and facilities in this part of the Algarve without any lengthy transfers.
