Aero Vip, which belongs to Grupo Seven Air, presented the only proposal to operate the Bragança-Vila Real-Viseu-Cascais-Portimão line linking the interior north to the south of the country.
“We hope they give us authorisation as quickly as possible. We hope to start flights this month if possible”, Seven Air said.
This connection, with a three-year concession will have at least two daily flights (Monday to Saturday) both ways in the summer and one in the winter costing the Portuguese coffers €7.8 million.

Increased inward investment (and jobs) worth a lot more than the subsidy could come from this. I can't be alone in welcoming the flexibility this brings to travellers in the Western Algarve, both to reach the north easily for business meetings and as a fast way to reach Lisbon Portela airport. Given an appropriate price and schedule, I could imagine using this service twice a week.
