Prime minister António Costa said last Wednesday that a final decision about the location of the future airport in Montijo depended on a report about bird migration in that area, namely migration safety.

Transtejo operates ferries between the north and south bank of the Tagus and has a total of nine terminals.

António Costa said last week that there was an agreement with the airport manager ANA [Aeroportos de Portugal] to study the possibility of using Montijo as a secondary airport, but the question of bird migrations was still in question.
