If the jet flies from Malaga to Gib will it have to land at Faro or Tangiers first, or are the Spanish more flexible nowadays when it comes to flight into/out of Gib?

They just go straight to Malaga now if they cant get into GIB

Yes but what P6 was getting at was the Spanish childishly didn't used to allow flights to go direct from Spanish Territory to Gib; have they relaxed that rule?

A nice try, but the Spanish ATC used to see right through that one!

The rule that Chevvron kindly explained (and with hindsight, I should have done in my first post...) used to be very rigidly enforced for both civil and military aircraft, but it's a few years since I was familiar with them, hence my question.

No longer an issue, you can divert to AGP and then operate AGP-GIB when weather improves.
