Farnborough to Gibraltar is 1,721 km and about 2 h 35. Here the runway at the far end decides the aircraft before the distance does — which is why we ask what you are flying on before we quote.
REQUEST A QUOTEThe longest sector in this group and the only one where the arrival runway shapes the aircraft choice. Everything else about it is ordinary; that one fact is not, and it is the first thing we check.
Distance is the great-circle figure between airport coordinates from the OurAirports open dataset. The flight time is an estimate from a model fitted to the block times this website publishes itself — not a measured time.
Gibraltar has a single runway with water at both ends and a 426-metre limestone ridge beside it. Neither fact makes the airport difficult in itself, but together they mean the performance figures are checked for the actual aircraft and the actual day rather than assumed.
The Rock also makes its own weather. In an easterly the air spilling over the ridge is turbulent on approach, and diversions to Malaga happen — not often, but often enough that we name the possibility before you leave rather than after.
Gibraltar is a separate jurisdiction with its own port-of-entry formalities, and they are not Spanish ones. If your plan includes crossing into Spain by road, that is a second frontier and worth an extra half hour on the schedule.
1,721 km is well within every class we operate. The runway is the reason the list stops where it does, and the reason we confirm the type before the price.
Cabin dimensions and range per type are on the aircraft pages.
No published price, and on this sector a printed one would be worse than unhelpful: the aircraft that can take the runway comfortably on a windy day is not always the cheapest one available that morning.
Send the dates and the number of passengers and you will have real options with real numbers, normally within 30 minutes. The operations desk is on duty 24/7.
Send the dates and the passenger count. We will come back with the aircraft that suits the runway as well as the party, and say which it is and why.
