The Airport, Gibraltar

Gibraltar Airport Gibraltar International Airport is the civilian airport that serves Gibraltar, but which doubles-up in its site with RAF Gibraltar: the runway is owned by the Ministry of Defence and was built for use by the Royal Air Force. Civilian operators use the civilian-operated terminal. The airport is built on the only available flat land of the territory; the narrow bank joining Gibraltar to Europe, and on land reclaimed from the Bay of Gibraltar. The runway extends into the sea. The road to the frontier with Spain crosses over the airport runway, and consequently has to be closed every time an aeroplane lands or departs. (Read more)
