Dangerous Gibraltar Airport | British Airways @ Gibraltar | 4K

[@laurahinze4035]

So I just moved to gibraltar a few months ago and the joy from walking across an airstrip just to go to a grocery... Hasn't gotten old. It's super cool

[@julieleimkuehler1409]

I'm so American, but the concept of getting to move to a place like Gibraltar is breathtaking to me. Awesome.

[@laurahinze4035]

@@julieleimkuehler1409 lol I'm actually from Washington State and it's wild because I think Gibraltar is flipping amazing but all the Europeans are like unfazed and think it's not cool but like there is a well that *still has water* that was built by moors in like 700-720 AD (i can't quite remember the date lol but it's the Nuns well on Europa pointe) and like there is a castle that was built in 1333 and still stands on the rock. And i just.... It's so cool???? And there are monkeys so like it's bonkers and super cool hahaha it is real small tho but day trips to Spain are very fun

[@lukecarlin9946]

This happened to me

[@bathsinger1189]

I have landed a Boeing 737 many times at Gibralter airport and don't consider it dangerous. The road crossing only caused me problems once when the trafic lights on it failed and I had to climb away from 600ft and circle round the rock and make another approach. They had got the police out to close the road this time. Strong winds from the south causing eddies round the rock can close the airport. Its a while since I retired and I don't know if the Spanish are still doing their best to make things harder.

[@makiwa]

Yes they are which not only is the actual landing difficult but also the approach which only compounds the issue!

[@fen0000]

I love Gibraltar and we visit regularly. Fascinating, beautiful views from the rock and a place to totally relax. Have never had any problems flying in but bad weather can make landing difficult and some flights are diverted to Malaga. The short runway and potential for strong cross winds means that only certain experienced pilots can fly there.

[@minhajulislamjim8600]

to avoid accident..authority should build up a under pass for vehicles..

[@PhB95]

It's exactly what they're doing right now : They build an underpass at the very eastern end of the runway. But it's not yet finished. You can see it under construction in google earth/maps.

[@CarlosCruz-ll5ez]

Jim Raiyan I had exactly the same thought as you. and they should had built that underpass from the beginning.

[@minhajulislamjim8600]

Carlos Cruz yeah..ur absolutely right..

[@chigozienwachukwu4786]

True. A drunk driver or distracted drivers or pedestrians can cross into the tarmac when a plan is landing or taking off.

[@evd]

There are spikes placed on the road when it is closed to stop anyone trying to get through. Pedestrians trying to get past the barrier will be stopped (forcibly if necessary) by police who man each closed entry point

[@rws1467]

I was stationed in ATC a few years ago and you need to be in Gib in February to get the full meaning of dangerous approach when you get wind whipping over the rock. However, since the 09 has been flattened out, know coming in over Spain that has changed the whole level of danger to this airport.

You won't see very many though. It's not exactly 'busy', they used to close down the terminal between flights - not sure if they still do but I might find out when I land there this March.

[@willdow]

Check out Google Maps to see where they are building an underpass at the eastern threshold of the runway for vehicular traffic. Pedestrians will still walk across the runway when it opens. The runway was built during WW2 for bombers and fighters when the surrounding land was just open space. Since then the towns have been built right up to the runway and the traffic volume across the runway is massive hence the need to retrospectively build an underpass.

Yeah, i live in Gib and it’s a problem when a plane lands cuz the have to close the road and there’s a huge traffic which you can get stuck in for up to an hour. But that can’t be helped cuz Gib is so small, they have nowhere else to put the runway.

[@rataxv20]

Is that true that they speak spanish and english?

[@wher3ismymind]

@@rataxv20 Yes! Some people call it Spanglish 😂. A lot of Spanish people also live in Gibraltar and a lot of Gibraltarians live in Spain. Most Gibraltarians speak Spanish fluently but personally I only know a little bit. :) Oh and also most people know each other so it's nice when you're walking in the high street (where there's usually loads of tourists, except not anymore of course) and you see your friends walking by. 😁
