Funchal Airport

Funcal Airport Madeira is situated 18km east of Funchal on a rocky outcrop 59m above sea level and extends on stilts over the sea. The original runway was once infamously short and a challenge for even the most experienced pilot. However the runway has been rebuilt and extended to almost double it's length in 2000. The surround mountains and coastal location make the airport a stunning place to fly to and from as can be seen from the official website.
