@kksf9018 Yeah its just pot luck really? it was in january way back in 1987 I think? it was a britannia 737/200, and we made 3 attempts to land, on the 3rd the captain decided it was too dangerous and diverted to tangier. Holiday memories that tend to stick with you forever.
@Skybluesam94 Runway 27 is the one in the video, i've been there a few times but never on 09, i'm out there again soon hopefully i'll get lucky and get a video of 09.
This is one of the hardest airports to land at, All planes from the UK are banned from using spains airspace, so they land from one direction where the rock is! and the cross winds created from the rock and surrounding areas can make it pretty tricky! Glad its not me landing it............
The only way EZY got into Gibraltar was by buying GB from BA - and if I am right, BA had to concede LGW-GIB to EZY and they're starting LHR T3 (ouch) to GIb instead!
The heathrow to Gibraltar route is starting on the 25th of October with BA if I am correct, and I cant wait they should have never got rid of it in first place it was a great route.
No, I can honestly say that Gibraltar has vastly improved in the last 10 years. I should know because I was born there and still regularly visit my family. Yes, the upper areas are a complete dump (castle ramp and above estates etc) but you wouldn't believe how much the tourist experience has improved. Casemates has been transformed too and is the main area for bars and restaurants.
you have to land heavy in LXGB , not even 2000 meters of runway.. crazy airport!

I once flew into here with a 100mph crosswind around the rock. Needless to say we spent the night in tangier.

@rodjames98 I've made the trip many times but not yet been diverted, I quite fancy a trip to Tangier.

What does it mean by heavy landing? Is it when the plane is carrying full passengers?
Guywhowearsunderwear 1 year ago
@Guywhowearsunderwear Heavy landing is when the aeroplane touches ground very hard during landing.

@Bezwaldo1 It always amazes me how they manage to stop in time. They must have big plans for the Airport as a new terminal is under construction.

This flight was Gatwick - Gib, with about 15 people on board, like being in a private jet.

sounded like quite a heavy landing too
