Simport Porto Santo (LPPS) for MSFS-2020

The island of Porto Santo was the first of the Madeira Islands to obtain an airport. In 1959, its runway was built with an initial length of 2,000m. The first aircraft to land at this airport was a TAP Air Portugal Douglas DC-4, on 20 July 1960. The airport's infrastructure has improved over time, with increases in the runway length and ramp surface.

The last improvements to the airport structure were finalized on 28 August 1995, with the inauguration of a new passenger terminal and a new increase in runway length, which then reached 3,000 m (9,800 ft). The runway was also re-paved.
