Porto Santo Airport

Opened in 1959, Porto Santo Airport is a compact regional gateway with a single terminal that handles domestic and seasonal international flights to Lisbon, Porto, Madeira and select European cities. Small but strategically important for tourism, it serves as the main air link to Porto Santo island and sits a short drive from Vila Baleira, with taxis, local buses and ferry connections to Funchal making onward travel easy. Not a major airline hub, it is typically served by carriers like TAP Air Portugal and a mix of seasonal low-cost operators, and fares are often more affordable than larger international airports, especially in low season.
