A Ryanair iniciou hoje a sua operação na Madeira, com 2 aparelhos baseados em FNC (inicialmente os B738 EI-EVM e EI-EVK) Além dos voos efetuados por estes aparelhos, a companhia efetuou igualmente mais alguns voos durante o dia de hoje, iniciando então as rotas de/para Lisboa, Porto, Nuremberga, Londres-Stanstead e Marselha. Ficam uns registos da chegada e saída do EI-GSH, que efetuou os voos de estreia da companhia de/para Lisboa. Acabou chegando um pouco antes do previsto, ainda sem sol na pista e com alguma chuva à mistura, que se manteve intermitentemente durante a manhã e que foi o único banho a que os estreantes tiveram direito.... Receção aos passageiros com uma pequena lembrança de produtos Madeira. Push-back para a 05, com o A320 HB-IJW a chegar de Zurique ao fundo... Um pormenor ao pequeno push-back da Ryanair.... Saída para Lisboa, após nova chuva e com o tempinho novamente escuro.... Ainda hoje, tivemos a estreia da Eurowings Discover mas, infelizmente já não deu para mim.....

From October 2019, a couple of shots of the departure of Edelweiss A320 HB-IJU, from runway 23, back to Zurich. Allways nice to see runway 23 in use, specially with one of my favorite liveries...

Na manhã do passado Sábado, a Vinci Airports organizou a I Edição do Vinci Airports Spotters Day. Uma excelente iniciativa para os spotters, que decorreu em vários dos aeroportos geridos por esta empresa. O Aeroporto da Madeira foi um dos locais onde decorreu esta iniciativa, permitindo a entrada no lado ar de vários spotters mais habituados a ver, fotografar e filmar um pouco mais longe.. Como seria de esperar, foram muitos os cliques...por hoje fica apenas um cheirinho com uma amostra de alguns dos movimentos...depois logo vou colocado mais umas fotos/registos desse dia...
