After a meeting with the executive director of the European Defence Agency, Portugal’s Minister of Defence, João Gomes Cravinho, announced the project which will include a Portuguese investment of €4 million.


“It is a training centre that I believe will be of great added value both for Sintra, our Air Force, our country, and also for the training of pilots and helicopter crews from the countries of the European Union”, Cravinho said.


“While building is in progr-ess, we will carry out training in buildings that already exist on the Sintra air base”.
