According to the ANA Aeroportos de Portugal website, flights from Terceira (Azores), Porto, Lisbon, Basel, Lyon, and London have been cancelled.

Taking advantage of the so-called "open spells" (improvement in wind speed), 12 planes managed to land in Madeira.

The situation is affecting hundreds of passengers and their corresponding scheduled departures.
