An impossible Airport : Gibraltar



Gibraltar Airport or another North Front Airport is a civilian airport, which supports the air connection Gibraltar, an overseas territory of Great Britain, with the outside world. Gibraltar has a tiny peninsula area of ​​6.8 square kilometers, with most of the territory – it rocks. Making an airport in such a small space with a complex terrain is almost an impossible task. The peninsula separates the busy road Winston Churchill Avenue, going towards Spain.


The creators of the airport had to combine the runway with this road. When the airport receives or sends a plane, the special barriers to stop the movement of vehicles and drivers wait patiently until the plane not pass. Fortunately, the airport is not heavily loaded, it takes just 30 flights a week. All flights to and from the UK.
