uin	HL40
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>All requests to Spanish authorities by any nation for a military over flight that has Gibraltar as a departure or arrival airfield, is routinely denied by Spanish authorities. We make clear to the Spanish government that this is not the sort of arrangement close allies should have to manage.<br><br>The military aircraft that routinely fly to Gibraltar are the Hercules C130 and C17 Globemaster. The difference in cost of a direct flight to Gibraltar from, for example, RAF Brize Norton and a route not overflying Spain is as follows.<br><br>C130 - £2,600 each way<br>C17 - £4,900 each way<br><br>It should be noted that Spanish authorities are swift and cooperative in allowing our military aircraft to pass through Spanish airspace to any other destination. The refusal to use their airspace to access Gibraltar is an irritant that we have managed since the 1980s, and is set against an otherwise productive defence relationship between our two countries.</p> answering member printed Lord Astor of Hever question first answered 18/06/2014 16:49:24 answering member 3428 label Biography information for Lord Astor of Hever
