I fail to see how you qualify this statement. Do you actually know how many aircraft actually managed to land in Funchal yesterday compared to how many diverted and/or cancelled ?
I’m reliably informed 3 aircraft landed - 1 in the early hours of the morning, 1 around 1600 and another just before midnight.
The British airways flight that you mention diverted to Porto Santo and then flew direct to Tenerife where it overnight delayed and is still there.
