Gibraltar Airport Parking GIB / Short Term Lot Zone A near the Terminal

Gibraltar International Airport is a former military airport located directly on the border between Spain and Gibraltar on the Iberian Peninsula. British airports are the most frequently served. A unique feature of Gibraltar Airport is that passengers living in Gibraltar have to cross the airport runway and passengers living on the Spanish side have to cross the Spain-Gibraltar border to get to the airport terminal. Travelers wishing to drive to Gibraltar Airport in their own vehicle and wish to park near the GIB terminal should be aware that there is no long term parking next to the terminal building. So, if you want to fly away from Gibraltar for a week or two, you'll need to park your vehicle somewhere in town and not right in front of the terminal. A good alternative is to park anywhere in the residential area of La Linea and walk across the border to the GIB airport terminal.
