Airgibraltar
Someone picked up on another forum the fact that a new airline was going to operate from Gib starting in April next year flying to Manchester, Birmingham, Ireland and for me Bristol. Bookings hopefully starting in October. Thank you Yvonne for this gem.

This will create havoc with the traffic as they close the roads when a plane takes off/lands, it is bad enough with one or two flights per day, any more will be a nightmare.

I heard that BA (GB Franchise) are pulling out of the Heathrow-Gibraltar route this Autumn. So that´s one less flight to cause havoc at the airport.

This is a sensible agreement which benefits both the Gibbos and the Spanish.
Sovereignty is another issue which will not get resolved for another 100 years or so.
