I was not at the airport, but I crossed the runway everything is beautiful, safe.
When they checked the passports (Russian), they checked longer than usual, although all visas were normal, they even waited for 7 minutes, although all Spaniards and EU citizens were allowed to pass in 2 minutes.But as it is, everything is at the level of security and patrol border guards (they look strict).It was about a month before covid 2019 summer.
I flew in and out of this airport. When landing, the view is stunning, the view of the cliff. Then I walked to Gibraltar itself and the barrier was closed in front of my nose - another plane landed! And then through the runway on foot! It's an exciting feeling!
The most unusual airport, probably. To get into the city, the lane is blocked and cars drive through it. And when the plane lands, the entire traffic flow is stopped. The base of the Royal Air Force of Great Britain. The cheapest dutifrey in Europe.
An interesting place.
Cars and people walk along the runway. Almost the shortest cherished streak. Traffic is blocked just before takeoff. During the entire existence of the airport, there was an accident only in 1940.
Not like everyone else...when landing, only the sea is visible at the last moment, when the landing gear is about to touch the water, the runway appears))) from the plane directly to the airport, 2 minutes on foot, super!!

It's a great airport. The view of the city and the airport upon landing is class.
