Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Gibraltar is served by 5 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Gibraltar Airport (GIB), 1 km (1 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,000 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Sania Ramel Airport (TTU, 61 km), Tangier Ibn Battuta Airport (TNG, 69 km), Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP, 96 km), Jerez Airport (XRY, 92 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gibraltar Airport | GIB | 1 km (1 mi) | 6,000 ft | 12 ft |
| Sania Ramel Airport | TTU | 61 km (38 mi) | 10,784 ft | 10 ft |
| Tangier Ibn Battuta Airport | TNG | 69 km (43 mi) | 11,483 ft | 62 ft |
| Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport | AGP | 96 km (60 mi) | 10,500 ft | 53 ft |
| Jerez Airport (regional) | XRY | 92 km (57 mi) | 7,546 ft | 93 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,000 ft, GIB handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 12 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
