VINCI Airports prepared for reopening of
Portugal’s tourism
- Passenger traffic resumes on June 15
- New sanitary measures
VINCI Airports, concession holder of Portugal’s
10 airports, celebrated the reopening of the country’s tourism and
airport business today at an event held at Lisbon airport in the
presence of António Costa, Prime Minister of Portugal, Pedro Siza
Vieira, Minister of Economy, Pedro Nuno Santos, Minister of
Infrastructure, and Nicolas Notebaert, Chief Executive Officer of
VINCI Concessions and Chairman of VINCI Airports.
With lockdown ended on 4 May thanks to a safe,
stable public health situation, there is growing demand on airlines
rapidly as the summer season nears. Air travel is set to increase
starting June 15 with air connexions resuming in Europe, notably
with France: flights between Lisbon, Porto and Faro and Lyon-Saint
Exupéry and Nantes Atlantique airports, all members of the VINCI
Airports network, will resume on 15 June. Flights into and out of
Paris, which continued throughout lockdown, will also expand.
Public health safety, friendliness and
innovations for the return of passengers
VINCI Airports has rolled out new health
measures in compliance with national and European regulations.
These measures focus mainly on passenger flow management and social
distancing, providing individual personal protection equipment and
cleaning/disinfecting passenger areas. These measures, which
complement airline companies’ new safety protocols, effectively
ensure the safety of passengers throughout their journey. An
extensive information campaign has also been launched in all
airports operated by VINCI Airports in Portugal and the rest of the
world to facilitate passenger handling and explain the new
measures.
In addition, Lisbon airport, a VINCI Airports
Centre for Innovation Excellence, has developed new public health
solutions over recent weeks. An autonomous robot that uses UV rays
to disinfect surfaces has been deployed in the airport.
Lastly, the works at Lisbon Airport's rapid exit
taxiways and Terminal 2 have been stepped up in recent weeks, to
the benefit of airlines and passenger comfort.
Nicolas Notebaert, Chief Executive Officer of
VINCI Concessions and Chairman of VINCI Airports, said: “The
partnership between Portugal and VINCI Airports is both solid and
resilient. The Portuguese airport network already demonstrated in
2012 its fantastic capacity to bounce back. We are happy today to
participate in the resumption of air travel and we are going to
accelerate the growth dynamic in the future by continuing to invest
in the country’s airports.”
