Francisco Calheiros, President of the Tourism Confederation (CTP), reports that delays at Lisbon Airport have decreased. However, he warns that the situation remains unresolved despite the improvements. The CTP emphasizes that the persistent operational issues have severely damaged Portugal's international image. Travelers' negative experiences at the main gateway to the country continue to be a concern. The organization stresses that the reputational impact may linger long after the delays are fixed. Consequently, the tourism sector remains cautious about the recovery of the country's prestige. The situation highlights the critical need for a permanent solution to airport efficiency.
