Porto Santo Airport — Vila Baleira, Portugal

Porto Santo Airport, coded PXO, serves Vila Baleira on Porto Santo, a small volcanic island in Portugal's Madeira archipelago known for its unusually long golden sand beach, a rarity in the otherwise rugged Madeiran islands. PXO connects Porto Santo to Madeira's main island and mainland Portugal, supporting a tourism economy centered on the island's beach and relaxed pace compared to the more mountainous, developed Madeira. The airport's runway was notably used historically for aviation testing given its length relative to the island's size. PXO remains essential for islanders' access to healthcare, education, and supplies located on the larger neighboring island of Madeira.
