A Boeing 767 airline EuroAtlantic scared this morning the inhabitants of the South Bank, in the area of Montijo, to fly over the area several times at low altitude. It was, however, a situation “normal and recurrent” training, explains Paulo Mineiro major, spokesman for the Portuguese Air Force.

The commercial aircraft was to use the air base of Montijo to make approaches to track and simulate landings, for training pilots, said the spokesman of FAP, adding that it is common for companies to use the Air Force bases for these workouts, not to disturb the traffic in commercial airports.
“It happens in various bases and it is a perfectly normal situation, although not so recurrent that people do not estranhem” adds major, especially for being a commercial and non-military aircraft.
