CNN Portugal13 September 2026 at 11:02

Diesel prices could reach 2.15 euros. A four cent increase is expected on Monday, which further worsens the situation for transportation sector professionals.

A transport company warned about the loss of competitiveness of Portuguese companies compared to Spanish companies. The situation is becoming increasingly difficult to bear for sector professionals.

The transportation sector is calling for urgent measures from the government to address this situation. The fuel price increase has a direct impact on transport companies' activity and the country's competitiveness.

Why this matters

Readers who depend on transportation, whether as professionals in the sector or consumers, face growing costs. The comparison with Spain highlights a cross-border competitiveness problem that could affect the Portuguese economy. The article comes following successive increases in fuel prices.

Faro Airport registers "greatest pressure" in biometric data collection

Mandatory biometric data collection from 100% of passengers coming from outside the Schengen area is proceeding without major problems at most Portuguese airports, but Faro faces "greater pressure" due to factors such as weather conditions, flight delays and concentration of arrivals, especially from British tourists. Since 6 September, when the measure came into force, processing time per passenger has increased from 5-15 to 15-30 minutes in Lisbon, which the PSP considers acceptable. The addition of 360 officers and technological investments have reversed the serious constraints recorded at the beginning of the year, but the PSP admits it cannot guarantee that problems will not return, with capacity currently at 80% of recommended levels, with a focus on more technical training.
