Girona–Costa Brava Airport
Girona–Costa Brava Airport (IATA:
GRO, ICAO: LEGE) (Catalan: Aeroport de Girona-Costa Brava, Spanish: Aeropuerto
de Gerona-Costa Brava) is an airport located 12.5 km (7.8 mi) southwest of the
city of Girona, next to the small village of Vilobí d'Onyar, in the north-east
of Catalonia, Spain. The airport is well connected to the Costa Brava and the
Pyrenees. Girona Airport is used as an alternative airport for Barcelona as
well, even though the airport is 74 km (46 mi) north of the center of
Barcelona.
History
The airport was built in 1965,
but passenger traffic was modest.
The early 2000s saw passenger
numbers grow spectacularly after Ryanair chose Girona as one of its European
hubs. In 1993, Girona Airport dealt with only 275,000 passengers; in the six
years from 2002 to 2008 passenger numbers increased by nearly ten times from
just over 500,000 to more than 5.5 million, but half of these were lost again
in the next 4 years until 2012 with only 2.8 million passengers. 2014 saw less
than 2.2 million passengers pass through the airport. In 2016 it carried just
1.6 million passengers.
Facilities
The airport consists of one
two-storey passenger terminal building. On the ground floor there are 33
check-in desks, with 11 boarding gates on the first floor for both domestic and
international flights. Food is available in the departures area of the airport,
as well as a few shops.
