The announcement comes as a result of greater influxes of passengers through Portuguese airports during the summer months. Lisbon will now have an additional 36 immigration officers, while Faro will see numbers upped to 13.
Porto’s Sá Carneiro airport is to have an extra 16 officers, while passengers arriving and departing from the airports at Ponta Delgada and Funchal can look forward to two additional inspectors each.
