Gibraltar International Airport

Gibraltar International Airport is a small but strategic airport located in Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory at the southern tip of Spain. It serves both civilian and military flights, with a unique feature: the runway intersects a busy roadway, which must be closed when planes land or take off. The airport is notable for its proximity to the Rock of Gibraltar and its role in connecting the region to the rest of Europe and North Africa. It also functions as a critical military facility, supporting national defense and logistics. Despite its size, it handles a significant volume of international air traffic.
