Gibraltar

Gibraltar
[GIB/LXGB]

The airport was constructed during World War II upon the territory's race course, when Gibraltar was an important naval base for the British. Opened in 1939, it was only an emergency airfield for the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm.

The runway was later (1953-54) extended by reclaiming some land from the Bay of Gibraltar.
This last major extension of the runway allowed larger aircraft to land at Gibraltar.
