The expansion of aviation in Portugal
Positive outlook
For ten years the aviation sector in Portugal has been experiencing an accelerated growth. The growth prospects are quite positive.
Passenger traffic has progressively increased.
Reasons
Some of the reasons that have led to this growth are the following:
- Portugal’s popularity as a summer destination has grown among European tourists.
- New projects, including the construction of a new airport.
Air passenger traffic increased 6.2% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period the previous year. Air traffic is expected to maintain this growth rate.
Regional aviation
Regional aviation is consolidating in the country. A new airport is being planned, intended to relieve the Lisbon airfield.
And in regional aviation, ATR is the aircraft manufacturer that represents 50% of total sales in the segment and is positioned as the preferred option by airlines due to its great versatility and efficiency.
