Madeira Airport
In the past, the unique way to reach the island was by the sea, but due to the advance of technology and the famous of Madeira Island as a tourism destination, we had the necessity to build an airport. The Madeira Airport was officially opened on 18th July 1964.
In 1972 and due to the popularity of visiting Madeira Island the Airport was extended in order to allow modern and larger aircraft to land.
