Post Madeira(FNC) airport...

In the last few days the FNC airport has been under some heavy winds.... .The Portuguese national ailine(TAP),has cancelled all her flights inbound and outbound sayinfg that it complyes to the wind limits,and that puts pax safety first.On the other hand another Portuguse airline(Air Luxor),and several others(GB airways,Condor,LTU,Sterling),did land...and it seems that some landed with winds out of limits.. .Now, the INAC(portuguese (CAA),is investigating if they have done so,having inclusive asked for the Pilots names for further investigation.. .I still think the the national carrier holds a good stand(SAFETY above all...),rather than the smaller airlines that risk quite more all in name of corporate pressure and profits.. .Those of you that fly or have flown into FNC-Madeira could comment this... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" />
