He was still in 1939 for war purposes. Today one of the most dangerous airports in the world belongs to the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain.
Since recently, the airport also serves civil aviation and receives the airplanes that connect Great Britain to Spain. The length of the only airport runway is 1 829 meters. When the aircraft lands or starts at the airport, Winston Churchill Street is closed off. This structure of the airport and the runway is unique. In many respects the security of the airport depends not only on the experience of the pilots, but also on the work of the ground services.

Top destination around Gibraltar Airport - Gibraltar
Many excursion programs around the city take their origin in the Casemates Square. Next to it, there are several state institutions, and around the square you can see many beautiful historic buildings. Many of them today are converted into shops, restaurants and cafes, part of whose tables are set directly on the square. For many years, this historic square has been the venue for an important ceremony - Ceremony of the keys. Despite the fact that now this ritual has only symbolic significance, it always attracts a lot of spectators.
On the island is the beautiful old Europa Point Lighthouse. It is located at the southernmost point of Gibraltar. In 1994, this lighthouse was fully automated. It is still operational now. Next to it is equipped with many spacious areas and walking paths. This is one of the few places in the city where you can enjoy peace and quiet.
For travelers who do not imagine a vacation without visiting interesting natural sites, it is worth looking into the St. Michael’s Cave. In the Rock of Gibraltar, there are several caves. This is one of the largest. It amazes with its grandeur and beauty. Initially, the cave attracted researchers and tourists with huge stalactites, and in 1974, during the next study, rock carvings and other evidence of primitive people's presence were discovered here.
