Saturday REPORTER in full: accidents at airports with heavy vehicles driven by people who only have a light vehicle license

Sábado13 September 2026 at 09:04

The images show accidents on the aprons of Portuguese airports, involving heavy vehicles driven by workers who only have a light vehicle license. The situation was reported and affects the three mainland airports in the country: Porto, Faro and Lisbon.

ANA Aeroportos, responsible for managing the airport space, states that it is complying with the law regarding this situation. However, the workers involved guarantee that no one assumes the order to drive these heavy vehicles without the appropriate qualification in writing.

Repórter SÁBADO managed to document photographically some of these accidents on the airport aprons, highlighting the risks associated with this practice. The issue raises concerns about security at national airports and compliance with driving regulations.

Why this matters

Readers who use these airports learn that there are security risks not officially assumed in ground operations. Workers and subcontracted companies are alerted to a situation that may question their legal responsibility. The complaint comes as a result of concrete accidents recorded at national airport infrastructure.
