TUI flight BY2536 Manchester to Madeira
Enduring a nightmare journey from Manchester to Madeira, passengers from TUI flight BY2536 faced numerous challenges at Funchal Airport (FNC). The airport's precarious location on a steep coast subjects it to strong winds and a demanding right turn during approach from the southwest. Exclusive training is a prerequisite for pilots attempting to land at Funchal Airport due to these challenging conditions.
Manchester, Porto Santo And Twice Tenerife
The TUI flight BY2536, departing from Manchester to Madeira on January 12th, encountered adverse weather conditions when trying to land in Funchal and had to divert to Porto Santo. Despite spending a night in Porto Santo, attempts to reach Madeira on the next day were thwarted by persistently poor weather conditions, forcing the flight to again be diverted, this time to Tenerife.
In Tenerife, the crew faced a waiting period of approximately four hours before making another attempt to reach Funchal. Unfortunately, the unfavorable weather conditions persisted, compelling the aircraft to return to Tenerife. Passengers found themselves enduring a second forced overnight stay at a different hotel.
Successful Landing After Fourth Attempt
The arduous journey eventually concluded on Sunday evening when passengers were able to board another TUI 737. After a total travel time of nearly 60 hours, the flight successfully landed in Funchal, marking the end of a challenging and protracted travel ordeal.
