Porto Santo Airport (PXO)

Porto Santo Airport (PXO) is located just outside the island’s main town, Vila Baleira, around 5 km away—roughly a 7‑minute taxi ride or a 25–30‑minute journey by public bus. While the airport provides direct access to Porto Santo, most visitors either fly first into Madeira International Airport and take a short 15‑minute inter‑island flight, or travel by ferry from Funchal, a scenic 2‑hour‑plus crossing that allows passengers to bring vehicles on board. Once on the island, travellers can hire a taxi, use the regular public bus service, or rent a car to explore at their own pace.
