Madeira Airport


Madeira International Airport in Santa Cruz is the main gateway to the region and is used regularly by the main European airlines.
Its runway is an impressive feat of engineering.

It takes around 1hr 30 min to fly from Madeira to any of the Portuguese airports and a little over two hours to get to airports in the centre of Europe. Flights to Porto Santo take 15 minutes.

Madeira Airport is the largest construction project ever undertaken on the island. It used to be called Funchal Airport. Its runway has been extended from 1,600 m to its present 2,781 min length. The new part of the runway is built partially over the sea and is very impressive. It is supported by180 pillars constituting a monument to engineering. Each pillar is 3 metresin diameter and the tallest are 50 metres high.

The modern, spacious terminal building has a tourist office, a residential tourism booking office, a post office, car rental services, travel agencies, exchange bureaus, a restaurant, bars and shops. It also has two Netpoints for free wireless internet access.

The airport is about 16 km, a 15 minute ride, from Funchal.
