Visit at the amazing Gibraltar Airport, where a four-lane road crosses the runway 09/27! My clip shows closing of the road 5 minutes before the landing of a Easyjet Airbus A320 from London. After the plane landed and runs to the Gate, the road get's reopened after 10 Minutes closure. A really unique thing and exiting to see!

Gibraltar International Airport or North Front Airport (IATA: GIB, ICAO: LXGB) is the civilian airport that serves the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. The runway is owned by the Ministry of Defence for use by the Royal Air Force as RAF Gibraltar. Civilian operators use the civilian-operated terminal. National Air Traffic Services hold the contract for provision of air navigation services at the airport.

In 2017, the airport handled 571,184 passengers and 302,094 kg of cargo on 4,888 total flights. Winston Churchill Avenue (the main road heading towards the land border with Spain) intersects the airport runway, and consequently has to be closed every time a plane lands or departs. The History Channel programme Most Extreme Airports ranked the airport the fifth most extreme airport in the world. It is exposed to strong cross winds around the rock and across the Bay of Algeciras, making landings in winter particularly uncomfortable.

Monarch Airlines was the largest operator at Gibraltar International, operating flights to Birmingham, London Gatwick, London Luton, Manchester Airport. Both routes were operated by an Airbus A320-200. Monarch entered administration at 4:30am on 2 October 2017, ceasing operations with immediate effect, around a year after rumours of its imminent demise became widespread. EasyJet operates seven weekly flights to London Gatwick operated by Airbus A320 family aircraft, as well as three flights per week to Bristol Airport and two flights a week to Manchester Airport. British Airways also operates nine weekly flights to London Heathrow being operated by an Airbus A320-200. Royal Air Maroc Express also operate twice weekly flights to Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport, which continue onto Casablanca Airport.

Although located in Gibraltar, the airport is also used by people travelling to or from neighbouring parts of southern Spain such as the Costa del Sol or the Campo de Gibraltar.

Besuch am Flughafen von Gibraltar, dessen Start- und Landebahn 09/27 weltweit einzigartig von einer vierspurigen Straße gekreuzt wird! Mein Video zeigt die Schließung der Straße 5 Minuten vor der Landung eines Easyjet Airbus A320 aus London. Nachdem das Flugzeug am Gate angekommen ist, wird die Straße nach 10 Min. wieder für den Verkehr geöffnet. Ein einzigartiges Erlebnis, dies aus nächster Nähe zu sehen! Video in 4K Qualität.
