New Gibraltar airport to be built.....in Spain

Despite the highly publicised problems between Gibraltar and La Linea, it has just been reported that the new airport is going to be built on the Spanish side of the border. A surprising statement to say the least.

The extensive of the airport has been on the cards for the long time. The current situation is unmanageable to say the least.

It is not entirely clear how the airport is going to be managed and controlled. In theory, it should serve both communities, the reality remains to be seen.

The land that has been earmarked for the project is a former military base. A three storey airport covering some 2,000m2, with parking for up to four hundred cars, will make the new terminal.

More news is expected to follow shortly.
