In addition to the documents above, the Airport Operators Association has recently published guidance material on the subject in the UK, which is reproduced below. While the guidance material is directed at Developers intending to build infrastructure and building near UK Airports, it provides very useful general guidance information for Developers looking to build in Gibraltar. However, it should be noted that where there is a conflict with information contained in the local documents above, the local documents take presedence and their requirements are to be met.
Should there be doubt over the interpretation or applicability of the AOA guidance details, then please contact the DCA by e-mail (dca@gibraltar.gov.gi) to resolve the issue.
