@wheresmumi: Third attempt — he finally made it 🛬🫡 Fun fact: after a 3rd failed approach, planes usually divert to Tenerife — that’s another 500 km over the ocean. Parts 1 & 2 on my profile.

hairybob :

what happens after they divert? do they try again tomorrow? do they get a better pilot? do you have to get a ferry? do you stay in tenerife instead?

Emily 🌸 :

Pilots have to go through extra training to land at Madeira

xrefff :

My mother in law is afraid of flying and her husband book them holiday to Madeira. Didnt say anything, yet. 😁

Edda® ⛸️🤍🏎️ :

What country is this airport in

Benny :

There was a ryan air plane, that diverted after the 1st try. I think it depends on the airline and pilot

RM :

Our pilot ate, it was windy and bumpy asf but he landed in one try

staceyadams958 :

I’m surprised he managed it in just three attempts in such poor visibility!! Good job!

MoonLight :

Had this happen to me but we went to Portugal

Evie :

It’s a bad landing strip !

Giulio :

why is it so hard to land in this airport??

Vandorio :

The landing was honestly one of the scariest I’ve ever experienced, but Madeira was absolutely worth it. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. 😅🇵🇹❤️
