Madeira airport is quite small, one runway but, that said, can be quite busy.
​
Immigration is the main bottleneck if a few flights land within close proximity. Thereafter, luggage reclaim is quick.
If you are booking a taxi, don't worry. Most drivers use a flight tracker App and will know where you are. That said, the average 'landing to exit' time is less than 40 minutes.
Average flight times between Madeira and the UK is from three and a half to four hours.
TAP is the national airline of Portugal and, for most of the year, offer daily flights to Madeira from Gatwick. When not available, you can fly to Lisbon and then connect to Madeira. www.flytap.com
