New Airport signs

Imagem
 Was just browsing some pics from September 2025, after publishing the Wizzair 9H-WDP shots ( HERE ) and got a better look on this shot that was just meant to archive on the bizjet and specially on Follow Me Ford Ka car that I hadn't seen in a long time and only now noticed that there were there also a group of packaged new Airport Signs ... Probably they've already installed it...

WizzAir

Engine issues

Imagem
Yesterday night, Swiftair maintenance (or the company providing it at Madeira...) was still working on the ATR-72 EC-MAF engine, after a rejected take-off, last Friday, on the departure back to Lisbon. When I got to the airport, the airplane was beeing towed back to the stand (suppose it went for some engine tests)...

Photo of the Week: First Transavia France A320

Imagem
A few days after the Transavia France first flight to Madeira, with the A320 (06.Jan.2026, with F-HXSP, from Paris Orly), I made my first shots on one of these planes... Quite a change from the 737...and also, with the current international "temperature", nice to see European airlines to change from Boeing to Airbus. F-HXSR on short final to runway 05, from Paris - Orly  

ATR's

Imagem
The ATR's of the house at Madeira... Binter ATR-72, based at FNC for the Madeira - Porto Santo route (with trips mid-day to the Canary islands, where they usually change crew and sometimes the plane) and Swiftair cargo ATR, used on the daily cargo flights between Lisbon and Madeira. EC-NJK pushing back to runway 23 While EC-LYJ arrives from Lisbon, also on runway 23 Curiously, the first time I publish a pic of any of these registrations...
