Omni Handling Prepares to Expand in Portugal and Spain
Slot congestion in Lisbon has led FBO group Omni to expand its handling services at other locations in Portugal and Spain.

Slot restrictions at the main airport serving the Portuguese capital Lisbon have prompted FBO group Omni Handling to expand in other parts of the country. Within the next two or three months, Omni is preparing to open new facilities at Funchal on the island of Madeira and also at Santa Maria in the Azores. Meanwhile, it is seeking to make use of Beja Airport, which is 90 miles from the center of Lisbon and has an 11,319-foot runway.
