Have you actually taken a look at the map of Gibraltar? There is actually no other place on the map where one could have built a runway that is a safe enough distance from residential areas.

Nope, not emergency – all real. Apparently it’s quite a difficult airport to land at because it’s so small (no room for error) and it suffers from crosswinds.

I have friends who’ve landed in Gibraltar in a flight sim and they say similar.

Um, I lived there for 20 years and I KNOW they have barriers which go up and down when planes are due to land.

They’re currently building a tunnel under the runway at the eastern end. This road will still stay though for emergencies and pedestrians so its all good

First, I thought this was an emergency landing.

And then I read the article.

Many of the nations freeways were actually organized to be emergency runways,(pity I can’t remember the percent), Give it up for American Ingenuity

Spent a week living in a boat in Gibraltar, the harbour is next to the takeoff end of the runway, nothing quite like waking up to a 747 flying straight at you!
