Failure to comply with the obligation to present and verify the passenger location form with destination or stopover in mainland Portugal constitutes an administrative offense for airlines and passengers, the Government said today.
In a joint statement, the ministries of Economy and Digital Transition, Internal Administration, Health and Infrastructure and Housing state that the passenger location form (PLF) must be completed by all passengers on flights to or from mainland Portugal, including passengers on flights from the Autonomous Regions of the Azores and Madeira.
According to the Government, the PLF must be completed electronically after the completion of the check-in and before departure time.
«Failure to comply with the obligations to present and verify the completion of the PLF constitutes an administrative offence, sanctioned with a fine that can vary between 20 thousand and 40 thousand euros, when practiced by the airlines or the entities responsible for the management of the respective airports or between the 300 and 800 euros, when practiced by passengers", says the statement.
The executive also emphasizes that the completion and presentation of the PLF by all passengers allows the health authorities, “with full respect for the personal data protection regime, to carry out the tracing of contacts regarding confirmed cases of Covid-19, and from this way to interrupt, early, possible chains of transmission”.
