A SAS Scandinavian Airlines Airbus A320-200N, registration SE-ROE performing flight SK-2901 from Stockholm (Sweden) to Funchal (Portugal), was on final approach to Funchal's runway 23 at 13:48L (13:48Z) when the aircraft encountered windshear, touched down hard with the left hand engine (LEAP) suffering a compressor stall and bounced. The crew initiated a go around and entered a hold, subsequently decided to divert to Las Palmas,CI (Spain) where the aircraft landed without further incident on runway 03L about 90 minutes later.

A passenger reported the aircraft touched down hard, the captain subsequently indicated they had encountered windshear. The left hand engine (LEAP) emitted unusual "fumes" following the go around.

The airline confirmed engine trouble as reason for the precautionary diversion to Las Palmas where better maintenance facilities are available.
