More info: The extended section of runway at Madeira Airport, sits 70 meters (230 feet) above the coastline and it is spectacularly supported by a grand total of 180 pillars. This creative work of engineering helps extend the airport into the water between the cliffs and the ocean, allowing for a safer operation.
Madeira Airport also suffers from severe crosswinds at any time of year resulting in many flights being forced to opt for a reapproach or divert to another airport. Being a Category C airport, formal training and approval for flight crew (both pilot and copilot) are required.
Madeira Airport has been named after Cristiano Ronaldo since 2017, making it one of two European airports to bear a footballer's name (the other being George Best Belfast City).
