 | | Flights to Gibraltar Airport (GIB) | Gibraltar Airport (GIB) is currently considered as being the closest airport to the city it serves since it is only 500 meters from the city center. The airport has become a tourist attraction in itself because of the major road that intersects its runway. Winston Churchill Avenue (the road leading towards the Gibraltar-Spain border) crosses the airport runway so it has to be closed every time a plane lands or takes-off.
Although located in Gibraltar, the airport is increasingly being used by tourists on their way to neighboring Spain’s Costa del Sol or Campo de Gibraltar.
The terminal is relatively small, yet it can accept around 500,000 passengers each year. It features two snack bars, a VIP lounge area and several retail stores offering duty-free shopping. There is a regular bus service to town and taxis are readily available from the taxi rank opposite the airport. Taxis to Spain can be found at the taxi rank on the Spanish side of the border.
The direct flights to Gibraltar Airport (GIB) from Spain and the UK are served by EasyJet, Monarch Airlines and British Airways.
