British Airways completes a successful landing at Gibraltar, considered one of Europes Most Dangerous Airports. BA492 has a beautiful landing at Gibraltar, and a short bit later, departure with views overlooking the majestic Rock of Gibraltar.

A dangerous airport in Europe, Gibraltar International features a short runway, surrounded by water and beaches, a highway crossing the tarmac, and wind gusts that often cause diversions.
Watch as this British Airways flight from London Heathrow comes in for landing at Gibraltar Airport and an hour or so later prepares for take off from Gibraltar Airport. As you can see in the video, the runway extends out into the bay which is one of the reasons this is a dangerous airport in Europe.

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.
