New measures restrict construction across 71,000 hectares

📍 Lisboa🚇 Infrastructure#government-policy+3 more

The government has approved preventive measures for the proposed new Lisbon airport that cover 71,000 hectares across seven municipalities, ECO reports. From Saturday, urban operations in Alcochete, Benavente, Coruche, Montemor‑o‑Novo, Montijo, Palmela and Vendas Novas now require a positive opinion from the National Civil Aviation Authority (Autoridade Nacional da Aviação Civil or ANAC). Property developers, homeowners and municipal planners in the affected areas should check whether planned works now need ANAC sign-off.

ANAC (Autoridade Nacional da Aviação Civil) is Portugal's national civil aviation regulator, responsible for safety oversight, licensing and economic regulation of airlines, airports and ground-handling services. It oversees tenders and issues licences such as the recent ground-handling awards for Lisbon, Porto and Faro, so its decisions directly affect airport operations, service providers and related jobs.
