[FNC/LPMA]

Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport, Madeira, commonly known as Madeira Airport or Funchal Airport or Saint Catherine Airport, is an international airport in the civil parish of Santa Cruz in the Portuguese archipelago and autonomous region of Madeira. The airport is located 13.2 km east-northeast of the regional capital, Funchal. It mostly hosts flights to European metropolitan destinations due to Madeira's importance as a leisure destination, and used for cargo flights in and out of the archipelago of Madeira.

The program Most Extreme Airports ranked it as the ninth most dangerous airport in the world and the third most dangerous in Europe.Pilots must undergo additional training to land at the airport.

Madeira Airport was officially opened on 7 July 1964.
