“Excellent news.” This is how the PSD/Algarve reacts to the announcement of first direct flight between the Algarve and New York, which will begin operating in May next year.
«This is excellent news for the region, as it demonstrates that in addition to traditional European destinations, the Algarve already attracts other destinations», reads a statement from the Social Democrats, sent to newsrooms.
For Cristóvão Norte, president of PSD Algarve, «this is an important moment».
«It is worth saluting the interest of private individuals, but also the commitment of entities on the Portuguese side», says the person in charge, highlighting that «the North American tourist has a high purchasing power profile and this produces greater value, adding that this is what they do pay better wages and generate more wealth».
The leader of the PSD/Algarve still criticizes António Costa's executive.
«We do not forget that it was promised by the Government that, after TAP's capital injection, it would invest in Faro. Until now, nothing. We don't need it either. We have other “flag companies” that serve the region», he concludes.
