Road on Runway #shorts

As an active airport runway Gibraltar Airport is interesting because there is a road on the runway.

Few airports in the world have such a line up of extreme conditions as Gibraltar does. Not only does the runway straddle an international border, sits at the precipice of two continents, surrounded on both ends by water, it also has a roadway transporting international traffic crossing it.

Winston Churchill Avenue is the main artery connecting Gibraltar with its only land access to Europe via its international border with Spain. Thousands of people cross the top of this active runway daily at Gibraltar Airport.

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.
