What is the name of the airport in Madeira named after Ronaldo?

The airport in Madeira named after Ronaldo is Cristiano Ronaldo Airport, officially known in English as Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport.

The airport is located in Santa Cruz, on Madeira’s eastern coast, and serves the regional capital, Funchal. It was previously known as Madeira Airport, Funchal Airport and, earlier, Santa Catarina Airport. Its Portuguese name is Aeroporto Internacional da Madeira Cristiano Ronaldo, and its airport codes are FNC and LPMA.

The renaming was announced in 2016 after Portugal won the UEFA European Championship, and the rebranded terminal was formally unveiled on 29 March 2017. Ronaldo, who was born in Funchal, attended the ceremony. The honour recognised his international sporting career and his connection with Madeira.

“Funchal Airport” and “Madeira International Airport” can appear in travel information because they describe the same facility or its location, but they are not the Ronaldo-specific name asked for here. The airport also became famous for an unusually realistic—or, at first, controversial—bust of Ronaldo displayed during the renaming ceremony.
