    I flew into Gibraltar last year and the landing was pretty smooth. Flew with easyJet from Luton Airport. Beautiful place to explore and go hiking. Flew back to Heathrow Airport with British Airways. The take off over the marina was pretty intense with the sharp left bank. Would highly recommend the trip just for the flight experience!

  • @onlineamiga
    @onlineamiga Před 3 lety +2

    Great video. I've been in Gibraltar for many years. The airport is awesome. The new terminal offers a nice observation deck to watch the planes coming in. Plus you can obviously get great views from the rock, or on a boat out to sea. ( i have a video on my channel with a British Airways flight coming in as i was sailing out on a boat).
    Its built east/west due to the prevailing winds. But cross winds can be a problem when its blowing from the south west. The turbulence caused by the rock in this case is enough to flip a plane, hence why many flights get diverted to Malaga. Visibility can be bad too if sea fog rolls in, and there is no ILS. All approaches are visual. Airspace restrictions forbid flying over Spanish towns of Algeciras or la linea during take off and landing.
    Airlines running here are British Airways and Easyjet. (Monarch used to run too). Whizz Air is apparently coming next year. There's also a small airmaroc plane that flies to Tangier and Cassablanca. As well as number of private jets and charters coming in and out.
    There is thankfully more than just a traffic light to stop cars and people crossing the runway. There are physical barriers, spike strips and Gibraltar Defence Police (Military police) manning the barriers at both sides. They are building a tunnel but its been fraught with technical and contractual problems for many years, so no idea when we will finally see it open. Though to be honest, i'd be sad to see this unique highway crossing go.
    You should come visit Gibraltar when travel restrictions get better.!

    Well, there are other factors that make this airport DANGEROUS. One, a wind phenomenon known as the Levanter. This wind comes from going over the Rock of Gibraltar and robs pilots of airspeed on the final approach and grabs the plane and tries to flip it over. 2. There is a No-Fly Zone that pilots must steer clear of or risk getting intercepted and shot down.
