FEB1 1600Z: The Madeira Shuttle: TAP’s Iconic Route

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is a vibrant city known for its rich history, culture, and stunning views of the Tagus River. As one of the oldest cities in Europe, it combines traditional charm with modernity. Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado Airport (LPPT) is one of the busiest in Portugal, serving as a hub for TAP Air Portugal and connecting travelers to numerous international destinations.

The flight to Madeira offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the island’s rugged landscape. However, Madeira’s Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport (LPMA) is renowned for its challenging approach, requiring pilots to navigate strong crosswinds and mountainous terrain before landing on its short runway. This makes it a thrilling experience for both pilots and aviation enthusiasts, solidifying its reputation as one of the world’s most iconic airports.

Hello @Neto_Campelo you are added to gate 116 of the terminal 1! Thank you

Hello everyone! Here’s some important information about gate assignments for the event. Please follow these guidelines to match the real-life (IRL) operations at Lisbon Airport (LPPT):

• TAP Air Portugal:

If you’re flying with TAP Air Portugal livery, please use Terminal 1 gates or Remote Ramp gates, as TAP operates exclusively from Terminal 1 IRL.

• EasyJet:

Pilots using the EasyJet livery should also use Terminal 1 gates, reflecting the real-life operations of EasyJet at Lisbon Airport.

• Ryanair:

For those flying with Ryanair livery, please use Terminal 2 gates, as Ryanair is based in Terminal 2 IRL.

By following these assignments, we can create a more realistic experience for all participants. Thank you for your cooperation, and have a great flight!
