ANAC suspends activity of aviation school in Bragança Lusofly Academy

Correio da Manhã31 August 2026 at 14:07

ANAC, the national civil aviation authority, suspended the activity of the aviation school Lusofly Academy, located in Bragança. The decision comes following an inspection that identified deficiencies in pilot training.

The suspension is related to the lack of adequate pilot training by the school. The authorities identified that students were not receiving the necessary instruction to obtain the required licenses and qualifications.

In addition to the training problems, ANAC also received complaints of intimidation from the school's executive director. These reports are said to have contributed to the decision to suspend the activity of Lusofly Academy.

The school will thus no longer be able to operate until the detected irregularities are corrected and the necessary conditions for pilot training are reestablished.

There was "an enormous lack of transparency in the way the PRR was reprogrammed"

Former Minister for the Presidency Mariana Vieira da Silva criticized in an interview with ECO the "enormous lack of transparency" in the way the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) was reprogrammed by Luís Montenegro's government, pointing out that the Executive chose a "very closed" process without adequate public debate. She warned of the lack of concrete solutions for projects that fell out of the RRP and were pushed to Portugal 2030, which are particularly concerning in Lisbon and the Algarve, where municipal councils and IPSS do not have the financial capacity to complete them. She also questioned whether the State Budget for 2027 will have funds to ensure the continuity of these investments, underlining that the Socialist Party did not show signs of unwillingness to enable this type of decision, but that the Government needs to clarify the future of these projects.

The opposition and civil society organizations had called for a boycott of the vote, which resulted in high abstention. Guinean military forces overthrew President Umaro Sissoco Embaló on November 26, 2024, a day before the publication of electoral results, and proposed a new Constitution that strengthens the head of State's powers.
