Passengers arriving in Madeira on Monday morning, July 20th, 2026, complained about lengthy queues at passport control at Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport.
Reports indicated that only one of the ten service points was operational, despite the arrival of six flights from the United Kingdom. The complaints described a prolonged wait in the border control area, with queues extending outside the airport infrastructure.
The situation drew criticism from travellers, particularly during a busy getaway week for the UK.
