  Pretty sure it's a 757, but that's not a jumbo jet either.

    That's an A320-200 [0]. Look at the cockpit windows, they're often a good way to tell similar aircraft apart. It also has two overwing exits, so it can't be an A319 (single) or A321 (none). The engine size gives it away that it's a 200 and not a neo. BA did operate 757s in their shorthaul fleet but only on busy routes like ARN - LHR, I don't think there would be enough traffic to have justified it on any Gibraltar - UK route.

      The flights are usually pretty full as there are only a handful a day. But I've only ever been on an A320 or a 737 when flying there, not sure if a 757 would be able to take off and land safely - it's a pretty short runway.
