The Algeciras Heliport (Spanish: Helipuerto de Algeciras) is a public heliport in Algeciras, Spain. It is a public heliport in the Port of Algeciras (Algeciras, Cádiz, Spain). It was inaugurated on July 1, 2010 by the Minister of Development, José Blanco. It is the second helipad of the network AENA after the Ceuta Heliport. Construction started in February 2009.[1] It provides transport to Ceuta and other areas in the Campo de Gibraltar. The only airport existing currently within the area is the one in the neighbouring British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar.[2]
It is expected that it begins its operation in July 2010.[3] The heliport is located on the current parking building of the Port of Algeciras.[4] The set up of the heliport has involved the extension of an existing building and the ground keeping an area of 32 x 24 meters to take off the vehicle and a safe area of 8 x 5 meters. It is supplemented by the service units for rescue and firefighting and various units of maintenance. The helicopter used in the city will be a model Bell 412 EP that will allow communication with the city of Ceuta in just 10 minutes.[5]
The heliport platform is at the east end of parking near the terminal in the port with a size of 2,400 m² and a height of 30 meters above sea level. The pillars that support the heliport are executed and the spatial structure mounted in the absence of aluminum platform on which the helicopters landed and took off.
The Passenger Terminal is located in the Passenger Terminal Building now has therefore been necessary to remodel the 650 m² with that count. Inside, the partitions with their respective finishes have been conducted in the absence of wood paneling that characterize the different units. The flooring is in place and is currently working on electrical installations, air conditioning and ventilation, plumbing and sanitation.
