Ultimate Planespotting Guide to Madeira!

Join us for a very special day out planespotting from several locations around Madeira’s Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport with Pedro who runs @MadeiraAirport Spotting. The ultimate expert on Madeira Airport gives us the full deluxe tour, showing us the best places to watch planes from all over and even underneath the runway.

See dozens of takeoffs and landings as we drive all around this corner of this beautiful island. Also: the best runway-side bar, all about the massive pillars that hold up the engineering marvel that is the extended portion of the runway, try some pastel de nata and some probably very dangerous poncha, do a little backcountry hike (but also next to the runway), see the mountaintop vantage point that makes it look like A320s are landing on an aircraft carrier, and get a unique level of insight and access into everything about this incredible airport. Bonus points if you can correctly identify the number of animals that make cameos in this video – it’s a surprisingly high number.

Aircraft spotted include: 737NG, 737MAX, A320CEO, A320NEO, ATR-72, CRJ-1000, Cessna Citation

Condor 757

Saying goodbye to Condor’s 757

Join us onboard DE757, the last ever service to be operated by Condor’s workhorse Boeing 757-300 on November 5, 2025. This was both an emotional moment and a lot of fun, as we flew from Frankfurt to Vienna.

We pet a BelugaXL!

Come spend the afternoon with us and the Airbus BelugaXL, the behemoth transport aircraft that is key to the Airbus industrial supply chain and yes, looks a whole lot like a Beluga. Highlight of the day: we got to pet the thing.

Inside Airbus: Where Airlines Design Their Cabins

We got a grand tour of Airbus’s Customer Definition Centre (CDC) in Hamburg — a 10,000-square-meter hub where airline teams spend days designing every last detail of their cabins. From lighting and seating layouts to full-scale cabin mockups with lavatories and crew rest areas, nothing is left to chance.

Behind the scenes with Airbus in Hamburg (A321XLR!)

We’ve got an all-access pass to the A320 assembly lines at the Airbus facilities at Hamburg-Finkenwerder (XFW). That includes a very special look at A321XLR assembly and some of its most unique aspects including the Rear Center Tank (RCT), the innovative fuel tank that helps it fly as far as it does.
