Entry at national airports is proceeding quite fluently, according to PSP information. For a week now, travelers' biometric data has been collected at Portuguese borders. This new biometric control system was implemented to reinforce security at the country's airports. PSP, responsible for this operation, confirmed that the process is functioning without major problems at most national airports. The only exception is Faro airport, in the Algarve, where there has been greater pressure and some difficulties in applying the new biometric data collection system.
