Gibraltar International Airport


Notice the water on both ends of the runway......... but that's not the scariest part.....



 Winston Churchill Avenue (the main road heading towards the land border with Spain) intersects the airport runway, so consequently has to be closed every time a plane lands or departs.
 
 
Think it is rarely used? Think again........In 2004 the airport handled 314,375 passengers and 380 tons of cargo.

    And so you continue to educate! I had no idea about this. I still think the water at each end is the scariest. LOL
