PSD wants to include Santarém in the possibilities for the future Lisbon airport
The PSD wants the future location of Lisbon’s airport.
According to SIC, this is a hypothesis that will be on the table and the main face of this alternative plan is former TAP shareholder Humberto Pedrosa.
According to that television station, the alternative to Montijo would be built between the parishes of São Vicente do Paul and Casével, next to the Santarém service area, on the A1, about 80 kilometers from Lisbon.
The plan has already been presented to the Prime Minister, António, the leader of the PSD, Luís Montenegro and 11 municipalities in Lezíria do Tejo, including the Santarém Chamber itself, which confirms that it had been contacted by private promoters to build an airport in the municipality.
This version is in line with a news item, according to the Expresso newspaper, which has been hosting a group of private individuals who have been studying the possibility of Santarémr becoming the next Portuguese for about three years.
In the news of August 19, Expresso writes that the project’s promoters admit to starting as a regional infrastructure and, in the shortest version, with a runway and an investment that could be less than one billion euros, without public investment.
