Airport in Gibraltar
This airport is interesting because of the fact that its runway intersects road into Spain. When aircraft taxis to the runway, highway from both sides overlaps by barriers, stopping the flow of transport. Gibraltar Airport is the civilian airport that serves the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar on the Iberian Peninsula. It is owned by the Ministry of Defense for use by the Royal Air Force as RAF Gibraltar. Civilian operators use the airport; currently the only scheduled flights operate to the United Kingdom and Spain. Passengers depart and arrive through the civilian operated terminal.

Travel Pods For The iPod Generation
London’s Heathrow Airport is rolling out futuristic driverless pods to shuttle passengers between terminals and the airport car park. The pods will be a much easier way of getting around. Each pod is capable of carrying four adults and two children along with their luggage. The futuristic driverless pods will shuttle passengers between London’s Heathrow Airport and the airport car park. Heathrow says passengers will have to wait no longer than a minute for their pod to arrive. When still the pods’ battery will recharge and will use 70 per cent less energy than a car. The pods will be a vast improvement on the existing shuttle buses which use conventional roads around the airport. If the trial at Terminal 5 is a success, Heathrow hopes to roll out the system across the entire airport – covering 48km of track.
