Gibraltar Airport

Gibraltar Airport Information Guide

Gibraltar Airport (GIB) is located on the very southern most tip of the Costa del Sol a few kms from the north African coast and on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean (See the interactive Gibraltar Airport Map). Gibraltar Airport offers another alternative for people visiting the Costa del Sol, especially if you are staying west of Estepona.

Gibraltar Airport is ideal if you are staying anywhere from La Linea right up to Marbella on the Costa del Sol or up to Jerez on the Costa de la Luz. Although it is quite a small airport, Gibraltar Airport has flights everyday from Luton Airport and Gatwick Airport with Monarch Airlines, EasyJet and British Airways.

EasyJet recently won the GB Airways franchise off of British Airways meaning that there are now two low cost airlines flying to and from Gibraltar Airport (EasyJet Gibraltar and Monarch Airlines Gibraltar).

Location of Gibraltar Airport

Gibraltar Airport is accessed via the Spanish town of La Linea on the very start of the Costa del Sol. It is about 20 minutes from Sotogrande, 30 minutes from Estepona and 45 minutes from Marbella. In the other direction Gibraltar Airport is about an hour from Jerez.

Eitherway you will ideally need to access La Linea on the coast road and follow the coastline until you get the the slip road to take you across the border. Please remember that by car it could take you and hour or so to cross the border at peak times or in the summer months.
