About Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport

Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 32.70° N, 16.77° W, on Atlantic/Madeira time (UTC+1).

Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 05/23, measures 9,110 ft by 148 ft, which puts the field in the widebody capable category: twin-aisle aircraft can use it, and narrowbodies have length to spare. The surface is asphalt. It is lit for night operations.

Runway 05/23 is aligned roughly north-east/south-west, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that north-east/south-west alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
