Operations at Madeira International Airport were reported as returning to normal after two days of disruptions that cancelled more than 70 flights. ANA - Aeroportos de Portugal reported that all scheduled arrivals between 08:00 and 10:00 landed and only one departure was cancelled, though it kept alerts for weather forecasts. Travellers should still check their airline status and expect last‑minute schedule changes while conditions stabilise. Those flying to or from Madeira should reconfirm flights with carriers and monitor ANA notices.

Context & Explainers

ANA is the company that operates and manages most of Portugal’s major airports; its formal name is ANA — Aeroportos de Portugal (Airports of Portugal), and it is run under a long-term concession by VINCI Airports. ANA handles planning, infrastructure and regulatory steps — for example, it delivered the first environmental report in the licensing process for the proposed Luís de Camões Airport, a key procedural milestone for that project.
