The Government approved today the construction of the new Lisbon region airport in Alcochete, following the recommendation of the Independent Technical Commission (CTI), announced the Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro.

"The Government decided to approve the development of the new Lisbon airport with a view to the full replacement of Humberto Delgado Airport at the Alcochete shooting range and to give it the name of Luís de Camões Airport", announced Luís Montenegro, in a statement to the country, after an extraordinary meeting of the Council of Ministers, this afternoon.

On March 11, the CTI published the final report of the strategic environmental assessment of the new airport, maintaining the recommendation of a single solution in Alcochete, the most advantageous, or Vendas Novas, also pointing out that Humberto Delgado + Santarém could be a transitional solution.

The PSD decided to set up an internal working group to analyse the location of the new Lisbon airport, after having agreed with the PS to set up a CTI to carry out the strategic environmental assessment.

The social democratic president, Luís Montenegro, guaranteed, before being elected, that the decision would be taken "in the first days" of Government.
