About This Airport

A runway on stilts: some 180 concrete pillars carry the landing strip of Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo (IATA: FNC, ICAO: LPMA), extended in 2000 — an expressway runs beneath the platform, with car parks in between. Named after the island's most famous son, the airport near Funchal counted a record of around 4.8 million passengers in 2024; the approach ranks among Europe's most demanding due to downdraughts and requires a special crew qualification. ANA Aeroportos de Portugal, part of the VINCI group, operates the site. In logistics the airport plays second fiddle: commercial airfreight is limited to mail, courier and perishable express shipments, while Madeira's goods supply runs through the container port of Caniçal a few kilometres east. Airfreight to and from the island is usually consolidated via Lisbon; flowers and subtropical fruit travel to the mainland as belly load on TAP aircraft. Forwarders reach the terminal via the VR1 expressway, with central Funchal about 16 kilometres west.
