Cristiano Ronaldo Airport

About Cristiano Ronaldo Airport

Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport — also known as Madeira Airport, Funchal Airport, and formerly Santa Catarina Airport — is an international airport in the civil parish of Santa Cruz in the Portuguese archipelago and autonomous region of Madeira. The airport is located 13.2 km (8.2 mi) east-northeast of the regional capital, Funchal, after which it is sometimes informally named. It mostly hosts flights to European metropolitan destinations due to Madeira's importance as a leisure destination, and is pivotal in the movement of cargo in and out of the archipelago of Madeira. It is the fourth-busiest airport in Portugal, although in January 2025 and January 2026 it surpassed Faro. The airport is named after footballer and Madeiran native Cristiano Ronaldo.
