Madeira Airport sees over 80 flight diversions and cancellations | Aviation

Madeira is well known for having an exciting approach, particularly when on runway 05, as the airport is located beneath large cliffs that often create turbulence from Atlantic winds and suffers from downdrafts and wind shear. As such, Madeira is one of our top 10 flight tracking hotspots.

We are able to share insights like these thanks to having the most extensive live and historic flight data at our fingertips. We provide a stable, secure, and professional flight tracking service based on the world’s largest independent terrestrial ADS-B receiver network.

We offer everything from detailed flight positions-based data to sophisticated flight events-based data services. Both live data feeds and historical data files can be configured based on the parameters you require. Our data is verified by international aviation business partners and trusted across the industry.
