As of 8 March, the Portuguese Bar Association (OA) will ensure lawyers are available for legal assistance and advice to foreign citizens prevented from entering Portugal at the seven airports of the country.
The OA states that any foreign citizen who is refused entry into the national territory must be informed, in a language that they understand, of the possibility of being able to be assisted by a Portuguese lawyer.
The lawyers will be available in person only at Lisbon Airport and will cover three shifts, beginning at 8am and concluding at 5pm.
In 2001 a plane carrying 293 passengers and 13 crew lost power in both its engines over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Unbeknown to the pilots of Air Transat Flight 236, the aircraft bound for Lisbon had been leaking fuel ever since it left Toronto six hours earlier. Having lost the first of two engines, Captain Robert Piche declared a fuel emergency and announced to Air Traffic Control his intention to divert to the Azores. Ten minutes later the second engine sputtered to a stop.
Piche and his first officer, Dirk DeJager, with more than 20,000 hours of flight experience between them, proceeded to glide the Airbus A330, without any power, for 19 minutes â covering some 75 miles â until landing hard at Lajes Air Base.
