Euronews Portugal11 September 2026 at 05:00

During a visit to Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar Airways management received media representatives to discuss behind-the-scenes aspects of the airline and plans for the future.

The air carrier addressed the recovery it has been experiencing following the regional disruptions that affected operations in the Middle East region, highlighting efforts to normalize schedules and restore passenger confidence.

Among the highlighted topics were plans for the winter season, which include adjustments to schedules and the number of flights offered to passengers, in order to meet the expected demand for the coming months.

Qatar Airways also revealed information about the arrival of new aircraft to its fleet and gave hints about the next generation of Qsuites, its premium business class product that continues to be one of the main references in the aviation industry.

New energy surge leaves companies apprehensive

The new escalation of tension in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea has once again caused energy prices to surge, with the price of oil touching 100 dollars a barrel, increasing pressure on European and Portuguese companies that were already facing high energy costs in the first quarter. The Government announced measures such as a 3-cent increase in ISP, the extension of the 10-cent agricultural diesel support and the maintenance of the solidary gas bottle, but business associations consider these measures insufficient. The Portuguese Business Association advocates for measures targeting the most exposed sectors, while CAP estimates needs of 170 to 200 million euros and Apicer suggests reviving the former 'Apoiar Gás' programme, which made 190 million available for companies dependent on natural gas. Government officials leave the door open to further support, acknowledging the unlikelihood of a US-Iran agreement that would allow a significant drop in prices in the short term.

Harvest yields 650 million liters of wine, up 12% compared to 2025

The grape harvest in Portugal is expected to yield 650 million liters of wine, representing a 12% increase compared to the previous year, in a context where European production fell by 11%. The president of the Vine and Wine Institute (IVV), Francisco Toscano Rico, highlighted that Portugal is in counter-cycle with the European trend, emphasizing this year's excellent quality and the early start of the harvest. However, the sector faces significant challenges, including a decline in global consumption exacerbated by geopolitical instability and trade tariffs. Although Portugal has demonstrated "superior resilience" compared to other European countries, the sector now exports to 150 countries and is betting on new markets such as India and Mercosur, particularly Brazil, to offset pressure on traditional destinations.

Ultra-rich choose Portugal to get married

Portugal is establishing itself as the destination of choice for luxury weddings, attracting ultra-rich clients, mostly Americans, willing to spend between 350 thousand and one million euros on a single ceremony. Weddings include exclusive experiences such as requests for stuffed tigers and multi-day social programs for guests. According to Turismo de Portugal, foreign couples invested 158 million euros in Portugal in 2019, although the real impact is difficult to quantify, as many couples register their marriage in their home country. Wedding planners, such as Jasmine Lazzari and Paula Grade, point out that Portugal still suffers from a perception of being a cheap destination, but argue that the climate, gastronomy, friendliness, and luxury hotels are elevating the country in the luxury wedding market. In the Algarve, companies like White Impact have 104 foreign weddings scheduled for this year, transforming the sector into a growing multi-million business.
