Gibraltar's airport

World's only Runway Gate ... like Railway gate
The Gibraltarian airport is one of the funniest airports I have ever seen. As you can see in the picture, it goes deep into the sea. The only street that allows you to access Gib goes right through the airport. That means that if there is any plane landing or starting, the street is blocked and pedestrians and drivest have to wait for the green light. You can also see the border of Gibraltar and q long queue of cars.




we would have seen the vehicles waiting for the train to pass by in a railway gate. But have u ever seen the same waiting process is carried out for flights. So shal we cal dis as a "runway gate"




















on the waiting vehicles view.....

















Gibraltar Airport is the civilian airport that serves the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar on the Iberian Peninsula. It is owned by the Ministry of Defence for use by the Royal Air Force as RAF Gibraltar. Civilian operators use the airport; currently the only scheduled flights operate to the United Kingdom and Spain. Passengers depart and arrive through the civilian operated terminal.
