| Constructed in 1939 and used for most of its life as a Navel Airport runway, Gibraltar is now a "real" airport that receives up to four flights per day from the UK alone.
Monarch Airlines fly to Gibraltar from both Luton and Manchester. They offer flights to Gibraltar on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday from Luton. From Manchester Airport they fly on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Over the summer and during peak times the number of flights on offer increases.
British Airways also have two flights per day, everyday, from Gatwick to Gibraltar. Flight BA6902 leaves Gatwick at 0840 each morning and arrives in Gibraltar at 1225 and the evening flight, BA6906, departs Gatwick at 1605 arriving in Gibraltar at 1950.
If you are traveling to Gibraltar Airport from the UK and Manchester and Gatwick are not convenient then check out the flights that are on offer to Malaga Airport
If you opt to fly to Malaga instead of Gibraltar Airport then you have a choice of 23 UK airports from which to travel. Once at Malaga your journey time to Gibraltar is around 80 minutes.
As the Airport at Gibraltar is small it is very easy to get around and only has a small shop and cafe. You should be careful about the amount of goods that you can take in and out of Gibraltar as it is not part of the EU and different regulations apply.
From the Terminal building you can catch a bus or taxi into town or to your Hotel. There is also a long and short term car park directly opposite the Airport.
If your journey involves going through the border into Spain then our advice is to walk through (passports required) and catch a taxi from the Spanish side. This will save you paying for the waiting time the Gibraltar Airport taxi would charge whilst waiting to cross the border.
