Girona Airport on the Costa Brava Spain
Girona Costa Brava Airport (IATA: GRO, ICAO: LEGE) is an airport located
southwest of the city of Girona, next to the small village of Vilobí d'Onyar,
in the north-east of Catalonia, Spain. It is well connected to the Costa Brava,
Barcelona and the Pyrenees.
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; but in the last six years the number of passengers increased ten
times from 557,000 in 2002 to 5,507,000 in 2008.

construction of an AVE high-speed railway terminal within the airport is under
consideration.
