Gibraltar Airport or North Front Airport is a civilian airport that
serves the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, a tiny peninsula
with an area of only 6.8 square kilometres. The lack of flat space on
Gibraltar means the peninsula's only runway is bisected by its busiest
road, the Winston Churchill Avenue that heads towards the land border
with Spain. A pair of flimsy-looking barriers closes vehicular traffic
every time a plane lands or departs. Fortunately, it’s not a busy
airport. It handles only about 30 flights a week, all flying to and from
the United Kingdom.
