GIBRALTAR AIRPORT
Gibraltar Airport, also known as North Front Airport, is one of the world’s most unique airports due to its unusual runway configuration. The runway intersects with Winston Churchill Avenue, Gibraltar’s main road, requiring vehicular traffic to stop whenever an aircraft takes off or lands.
This proximity to the Rock of Gibraltar and the city center creates challenging conditions for pilots, who must navigate steep approaches and strong crosswinds. Despite its small size, Gibraltar Airport is a crucial transportation hub, connecting the region to the UK and other countries.
