Departing from Frankfurt Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 18, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 2,270-meter-long runway, which represented 57% of its total length. At a liftoff speed of 172 knots, the aircraft successfully lifted off the ground, taking advantage of the favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle tailwind of 4 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 1,325 feet above sea level, gradually increasing to 32,010 feet, a vertical gain of 30,685 feet, over a distance of 173 nautical miles, in 26 minutes. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted 609 minutes, covering a distance of 1,313 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its descent, starting 74 miles northeast of Porto Santo Airport, Madeira, and gradually decreasing its altitude from 31,926 feet to 383 feet, a vertical loss of 31,543 feet, over a distance of 116 nautical miles, in 23 minutes.

As the aircraft approached Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, it began its final approach to runway 05, aligning itself with the runway from the southwest, at a heading of 43.0°, 1 nautical mile from the threshold, and 204 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed smoothly on the 2,483-meter-long runway, with a touchdown distance of 247 meters, representing 53% of the runway length. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, but the aircraft's touchdown rate of -306 feet per minute was firm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following a short taxiing period of 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed its journey of 1,610 nautical miles, using 12,103 kilograms of fuel, and lasting a total of 242 minutes.
