Transport

Are there direct flights from Gibraltar to Spain or other EU countries?

Short answer

The Treaty allows flights between Gibraltar and EU airports, operated by EU carriers or carriers authorised by the EU, but scheduled services at Gibraltar airport currently serve the UK. Gibraltar's Tourism Minister has said airlines have shown interest in EU routes, with new flights expected from summer 2027.

Detailed answer

The Treaty's aviation chapter sets out air traffic rights for direct flights between Gibraltar and airports in the EU, and provides for a joint venture between Gibraltar and Spain on the management of the airport. Gibraltar Air Terminal Ltd continues to run terminal operations.

Airlines announce new routes with their own schedules, so check airline websites for any services added after publication.
