RAF Gibraltar is located on the northern end of the Gibraltar peninsula. The airfield’s position makes it an ideal staging post for aircraft on operations and as a supporting base for major NATO exercises. The Government of Gibraltar also operates a civilian air terminal on the north side of the airfield.
RAF Gibraltar is a Royal Air Force station in Gibraltar. No military aircraft are currently stationed there, but RAF, Commonwealth and aircraft of other NATO nations will periodically arrive for transient stopovers, exercises, or other temporary duties.
