Funchal Airport (FNC) is in nearby Santa Cruz. Once famous for its hair-raisingly short runway ending at a cliff over the Atlantic Ocean, the airport has been expanded to handle all sizes of aircraft. There are several daily flights from most major cities in Portugal. Flight time from Lisbon is 1 1/2 hours. Also, there are good connections from London (mostly Gatwick), with TAP Air Portugal and British Airways; its flying time is estimated at 3 1/2 hours.
