Talk:Gibraltar Airport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Clarification?
"The airport runway is similar to Hong Kong's former airport Kai Tak (formerly RAF Kai Tak)." How are the two runways similar? The Kai Tak article mentions that the Japanese extended the runway past an existing road, but there is no mention whether the road was closed during aircraft operations (as with the Gibraltar Airport). Are they similar because they are built on reclaimed land? If that is the case then they are similar to a lot of other runways (e.g. SFO). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC) They are similar because they are both short and stick out into the sea, and yes they are both built on reclaimed land.
