Flight from Spain to Gibraltar; WHAT??? British Airways after Diversion

Due to weather at Gibraltar this BA flight 498 from originally from London Heathrow had to divert to Malaga. After a couple hours on the ground at Malaga, the aircraft was able to depart Spain and head the 60 miles south to land at Gibraltar International Airport.

The flight path is normally direct from LHR to GIB, there are no scheduled flights from Spain to Gibraltar.

Get closer to the runway than any other airport, 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! Up close 4K plane spotting at one of the most DANGEROUS and EXTREME airports int he world! Subscribe for more!

I love how these planes land on a runway 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 runway, an international roadway bisects the runway 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 specially qualified. Flights to Gibraltar are currently only from the United Kingdom. Gibraltar International Airport is technically a military airport not a civilian one.
