The images from the Reporter Sábado program show accidents at the aprons of Portuguese airports, where heavy vehicles are being driven by workers who only hold light vehicle driving licenses. The situation affects the three mainland national airports: Porto, Faro, and Lisbon, being described as a "ticking time bomb" in terms of safety.
ANA Aeroportos, responsible for managing airport space, claims to be complying with the law regarding this issue. However, the workers involved guarantee that no one assumes the order to drive these heavy vehicles in writing, creating a situation of undefined responsibility.
The journalistic investigation by Reporter Sábado reveals that this practice represents a significant security risk at Portuguese airports. The program premieres at 9:40 PM on the NOW streaming service, presenting images of the accidents and the complaints from workers affected by this situation.
