Despite thousands of departures from Faro airport, the President of Tourism of the Algarve, João Fernandes, has said that 6,000 Brits landed in Portugal over.
The announcement of the British government on 3 June that Portugal was to be removed from the green list of travel destinations led to a scramble for flights,.
