An airshow is scheduled to begin this Friday, spanning the municipalities of Porto, Gaia, Maia, and Matosinhos. Despite the event’s imminent start, the Portuguese National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) has not yet granted the necessary flight authorization. Local authorities in Gaia state they expect the license to be issued one day before the airshow commences. This assurance comes as organizers prepare for the festival, which will feature aerial displays and performances. The lack of prior authorization raises questions regarding safety protocols and regulatory compliance. Event organizers remain optimistic that the required approvals will be secured in time, allowing the airshow to proceed as planned.
