Ota Airport

So, the Government's going ahead with investment in the new airport, regardless of the size of the deficit. Must be to create the jobs promised in their election manifesto.

Shame that the new jobs are only likely to reduce unemployment in the Ukraine and Africa.

Wouldn't it be easier (cheaper and quicker) to create a terminal to receive charter flights at the military airport in Montijo?

It will never be possible to close Portela airport in Lisbon. Imagine Spanish or German businessmen flying in for a meeting and spending an hour in a taxi to get from Ota to Lisbon.

Couldn't be any vested interests involved here, could there?
