Seven Countries That Don't Have An Airport

Gibraltar: A British Overseas Territory with a Unique Approach

Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory located on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, does not have a traditional airport within its borders. Instead, it utilizes the Gibraltar International Airport, which is uniquely positioned with its runway crossing the main road into the territory. This unusual setup requires the road to be closed during aircraft takeoffs and landings, showcasing Gibraltar’s innovative approach to aviation infrastructure. The territory’s strategic location at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea ensures its significance in maritime and aviation routes, despite the unconventional airport arrangement.
