"The airport runway is similar to Hong Kong's former airport Kai Tak (formerly RAF Kai Tak)." How are the two runways similar? The Kai Tak article mentions that the Japanese extended the runway past an existing road, but there is no mention whether the road was closed during aircraft operations (as with the Gibraltar Airport). Are they similar because they are built on reclaimed land? If that is the case then they are similar to a lot of other runways (e.g. SFO). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Can someone clarify that this actually happens? I have never seen or heard of this before, and there is no cited source. 86.128.28.71 16:38, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
I've added an image too (but not of Air Malta). If you do get round to uploading yours I think I would fit nicely under the 'Destinations' section. Chris Buttigieg 09:56, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
The deadlines listed in the section on the construction of the new terminal are in the past. Did everything go according to plan? -- Slashme ( talk) 10:20, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
The article says that a History Channel list of dangerous airports ranked Gibraltar fifth in the world and top in Europe. There is nothing in the article about accidents though. Have there been any notable ones? I wonder if they just put in on their list because it looks scary and has a road across it, rather than because they'd actually looked at accident statistics. Beorhtwulf ( talk) 23:20, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
The original programme was titled 'most Extreme airports' - althuogh in reality it was a mix of dangerous and simply usual and bizare (but not actually dangerous). Sadly some media outlets misreported what the programme was about, and assumed that if one was in the list for being dangerous, then they all were. Also I understand some broadcasts of the series were marketed as it being a 'dangerous' list in their adverts and local continuity announcements. The airport is perfectly safe.
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:GIB 2007-09-18.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on August 27, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-08-27. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng { chat} 17:34, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
"Gibraltar International is one of the few Class A airports in the world."
I have removed the sentence above as it would appear that this cannot be clarified at the moment. http://www.panorama.gi/localnews/headlines.php?action=view_article&article=4701
As far as I can tell, there appears to be a dispute as to airspace as long as there is a dispute with Spain over sovereignty of Gibraltar!
I've spent a few hours searching for what class of airspace Gibraltar counts as, and I've seen Class A, Class C, a mixture of several, and even none at all (and that Spain controls airspace).
Gibraltar Laws quotes Class A and Class C, but doesn't state which applies, and/or where. It also quotes laws for VFR which of course wouldn't apply in Class A.
When there is clarification then this can be added back in and amended is necessary. WillDow (Talk) 09:11, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi, i have just ben on a tour of thebairpot control tower and the 'NATS operator showed the radar screen and told us it was Unclasified airspace and he claimed it was the only unclassified airspace in the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.216.169.100 ( talk) 23:31, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

While the article states that GIB is used by some passengers travelling to or from neighboring parts of southern Spain, it seems inappropriate to include an unmodified Spain as one of the |city-served=
. I would tend to think of
Gibraltar as both a
British Overseas Territory and a city that occupies the whole or the vast majority of that territory. But I suppose it may not technically qualify as a city. But certainly GIB serves all of Gibraltar and only a small region of Spain. I have changed it to give the name of the closest province, "
Cádiz (
Spain)". I thought of using "
Cádiz (
Andalusia)", but in the end I thought Spain would be a more recognizable disambiguator on en.wikipedia. To avoid making it look like a statement that Gibraltar is also part of Spain, I added a disambiguator there also, so it reads "
Gibraltar (
UK), where the disambiguator is a piped link pointing to
British Overseas Territory.

Can someone of knowledge please update the section: it says that it’d be finished by November 2018 but it is currently still not finished. Thank you! Lbc07 ( talk) 19:52, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
Can anyone check if the external link provided in the InfoBox footnotes (Reference #2 - Source: WAD) is proper. It seems it is directing to a suspicious page. I got "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead". Stymyrat ( talk) 10:06, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
