Did you know that Madeira’s airport is ranked the 7th most dangerous airport in the world? 🫣✈️

In honour of us booking our next trip to this incredible island, let’s talk about one of the questions we get asked the most when we tell people we’ve been to Madeira multiple times…

Since Madeira is a volcanic island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Madeira’s Airport (the Cristiano Ronaldo Airport) can be challenging to land at — both due to location and weather, and then there’s also a pretty short landing strip! 🛬

But is it actually dangerous to fly into? 🤔

The short answer is no. Any pilot who flies into this airport needs extra training so they know exactly how to land here safely — and if the weather conditions aren’t good, your flight just won’t land 👨‍✈️👩‍✈️

So that’s actually more important to keep in mind when you plan a trip to Madeira because your trip might get delayed by a few days 👀 (it happens quite often).

If the weather is bad, one of three things can happen:

1️⃣ Your flight gets delayed, or you have to do a few “go-arounds” before you can land (this has happened to us before)

2️⃣ Your flight gets cancelled and you’ll get rebooked for a different day

3️⃣ You get diverted to a different island (often Porto Santo or Tenerife)

That being said, Madeira is one of the most beautiful places in Europe we’ve ever been to, and the pilots are highly skilled, so it’s totally worth a visit 🥰

Would you be brave enough to fly into Madeira? 👀✈️
