Competition for second helicopter in Madeira already under way

Observador31 August 2026 at 23:34

The competition for the acquisition of a second helicopter for Madeira is under way. Luís Neves visited Madeira and brought what the president of the regional executive, Albuquerque, classified as "good news".

The aerial means had been planned since summer 2025, but the process has suffered successive delays. The autonomous region has been investing in strengthening firefighting and emergency means, with the acquisition of this second helicopter considered a priority to improve the response capacity of regional Civil Protection.
