Flightradar - some poor passengers really aren't landing at Madeira at the moment

[cakeorwine]

2 landing attempts and still not down.

I think it's windy there

There's about 5 inbound flights in the next 30 mins.

I had this last year in heathrow - about 70% were landing at the time, the flights just ahead and after us made it, but we ended up in Stansted!

I bet the pilot is feeling quite smug.

Does anyone have the link for the live YouTube channel for the airport? Can’t find it.

I think there needs to be a permanent Flightradar topic thread.

I think he just rang his wife as he's been out for 9 hours!!

@cakeorwine Thank you! That looks bad weather. I’ve been watching all afternoon and can’t believe the relief when they land as if I’m on it myself 😂

Eurowings trying again

I used to fly to Madeira as cabin crew, always a hit and miss if the weather was bad!

Take away tonight as I've been on here reading the whole thread.

Totally fascinating.

Do we need the APP to watch it live ?

Lisbon’s out again

OMFG that Binter Canaries. He's won't, will he?

Where is Stuttgart going?

Stuttgart gone again.

It is a very popular tourist destination, but a large proportion of the Portuguese that emigrated to work in the hospitality industry in the UK, (Jersey in particular has a large population), and in Europe originate from Madeira.

Yeah I get that but you risk having to do this terrifying landing

Based on school holidays in the Stuttgart area I'd say most of that flight is probably pensioners and people who don't have school aged kids trying to get some winter sun.
Stuttgart seems to be going towards the Canary Islands now.

Lisbon out again

Hardly terrifying. It's not like a 17 y/o who's just passed his test and has his dad's car keys.

And the Tenerife Binter

It's not terrifying as the pilots don't land if it's dangerous.

I believe EZY have a base at FAO so most likely a crew change then they'll have another go.

Nooooo Lisbon got down to 1300ft then aborted

It's a no from Lisbon

So close

Would they let you off?

Because there is no way I would willingly want to attempt it again?

It must cost the airline a fortune
