Portugal plans to open dedicated corridors in its airports so British tourists continue to get fast-track access after Brexit whether the UK leaves with or without a deal, the prime minister, António Costa, has said. “Millions of Britons visit Portugal as tourists every year – we have to ensure the flow is not interrupted,” Costa said on Thursday. Faro airport in the Algarve and Funchal on the island of Madeira will operate special lanes for UK visitors similar to those for EU nationals, he said. The economy minister, Pedro Siza Vieira, said Portugal was ready to do this unilaterally. Portugal aims to launch a major promotional campaign targeting Britain in an effort to offset the decline, Siza Vieira said.
