Gibraltar Airport has a beach right next to the runway. In this video a man can be seen swimming within meters of the tarmac minutes before this British Airways flight lands at Gibraltar Airport. The beach at the airport is separated only by a parking lot. The beach at airport makes it possible to see great views of the planes landing and departing, and if you're like this guy you can swim next to the runway.

British Airways Landing at Gibraltar Airport and then a little over an hour later departs for London Heathrow. Gibraltar sees 1-2 British Airways Landing at Gibraltar Airport each day. There are usually no more than two British Airways Landing at Gibraltar Airport per day.

Get closer to the Tarmac than any other airport at Gibraltar International Airport, you can walk across it! I don't know of any other major international airport in the world where you can do this!

I love how these planes land on a tarmac that is surrounded on all sides by water. This is a must watch to see how close to the water these planes land and take off. There are very few airports in the world like this, that could support commercial airline jets to land and take off under such extreme conditions.

Gibraltar is one of the most dangerous airports in the world because the runway is short, it is surrounded by water on both ends of the tarmac, an international highway bisects the tarmac with cars, bikes and people on foot crossing. The weather caused by the Strait of Gibraltar can lead to brutal crosswinds. The pilots who land here have to be very qualified. Flights to Gibraltar are currently only from the United Kingdom because Gibraltar International Airport is technically a military airport not a civilian one.
