RE: Airport picture of the day-Madiera

Great I have a reply!Here is what he said,excuse the english:
Hello,
In fact was a 757 that Airtours but other bigger aircraft comes to
Madeira
more frequently. The wide-body aircraft that landed on Madeira was:
Tap Air Portugal A310, A340 São Paulo, Johanesburg, Caracas, Lisbon
Hapag Lloyd A310 Hannover, Munich
Air Luxor 767-300, L1011 Lisbon
Sata Internacional A310 Toronto, Lisbon, Azores
Condor 767-300 Munich
Air 2000 767-300 Gatwick
In Madeira never landed a 747 a MD11 but with the runway extension to
2781m any type of aircraft, of any part of the world coul land.
**********************************************************************
So it was an AIH 757!!!!

RE: Airport picture of the day-Madiera

Right,i’m going to email the photographer to see if he can tell me what the aircraft is,I will tell you when I get a reply!

RE: Airport picture of the day-Madiera

There’s no way it’s an A330. The tailcone slopes down too much for it to be an Airbus. It has to be a 767 since it’s sitting taller than the Condor 757. But that could also be do to the angle of the shot.

RE: Airport picture of the day-Madiera

indeed the airport name isn’t santa cruz neither santa catarina…
Acording to this site www.anam.pt/AM.htm (whisch is the site of the company who runs the airport) the airport official name is Aeroporto da Madeira and, yes it is located in Santa cruz!

RE: Airport picture of the day-Madiera

the AIH may not be an AIH!! – have u searched for Premiair??

Also i think the 737 – 2nd along is on white eagle aviation – it’s definatly not Pegasus (red/gold/white)

RE: Airport picture of the day-Madiera

Sorry jtfontes according to A.net the airports name is Santa Cruz!
Benair-still not sure about the Airtours aircraft though looking at mor picturs at Madiera it shows an Airtours 757 so it may not be a 767 or A330.

RE: Airport picture of the day-Madiera

thank you Benair360p

i’m not sure about the airtours but i think you’re right

the shorts 360 is (as saab said) of aerocondor. This airline has a code share agreement with tap to operate the route funchal-porto santo(+/-100km)

RE: Airport picture of the day-Madiera

Welcome jtfontes. Your English is very good. Thanks for the information.

Saab. is the Airtours an A330 then?

Regards

Ben

RE: Airport picture of the day-Madiera

because i’m from portugal….

well, i just want to say that the name of the airport isn’t Santa Cruz, but Santa Catarina indeed!
And just a little information:
The runaway was duplicated because it was too short and it ends in the see (about 1977 a tap air portugal plane fall in the sea) but now, and because the runaway has suffered a rotation of about 2 degrees; the airport is closed very often due to phenomens such as windshear. And of course these causes hard “damages” to the local economy (the airport is the main way of entrance in the island)

PS: sorry obout the poor english

RE: Airport picture of the day-Madiera

Airtours… 😀 Sadly no longer with us… 🙁

RE: Airport picture of the day-Madiera

The 737 is of SATA.
The shorts 360 is of Aero Condor.
