Gibraltar is unique in having an international airport a few minutes walk from the town center. Fortunatly for those with baggage, there are taxis and a regular bus service just outside the terminal building.

Gibraltar airport is classified as a Category 3 British Regional airport under Directive 83/416/EEC of 25 July 1983 which regulated the authorisation of scheduled inter-regional air services of the transport of passengers, mail and cargo.

The Passenger Terminal offers an array of display screens throughout the Terminal with up-to-the-minute flight information. You can also find two cafes/snack bars in the Upper Level Lounge and Departures Lounge, where a selection of drinks and hot/cold snacks are served. The Peninsula Lounge offers complimentary drinks and newspapers to Club Class passengers.

Duty-free shopping is an attractive option for anyone arriving or leaving the Rock, with shops available in both areas.

When the frontier with Spain was closed the airport was a lifeline for Gibraltar. Since it re-opened, it has become a valuable asset to the tourist industry. In line with the policy of causing economic damage to Gibraltar successive Spanish Governments have sought to exclude the airport from EU air liberalisation measures.

Gibraltar has never prevented normal commercial promotion or development of air services with Spain as these would be greatly welcomed. The application of EU measures is seen as a positive and progressive measure in this direction. Although Gibraltar would welcome the use of its airport by other operators, this is not currently possible due to Spanish Government intransigence.

Currently there are frequent scheduled services to and from the United Kingdom operated by British Airways and Monarch Airlines.
