## Description

2,185,561 passengers in 2025, up 9.4 percent, and almost no freight — the figures describe Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO / LEGE) at Vilobí d'Onyar in Catalonia precisely. Ryanair has been based here since 2002 and supplies roughly 80 percent of seats across more than 20 year-round and around 30 seasonal European routes; ACI named GRO the best European airport under two million passengers for 2024. No regular freighter operation or dedicated cargo terminal is documented, so what little air freight exists travels as belly capacity on leisure flights. Catalonia's air cargo sits about 100 kilometres south at Barcelona-El Prat (BCN), which passed 200,000 tonnes for the first time in 2025 with 200,741 tonnes, up 10.5 percent, well over half of it long-haul belly capacity. BCN is little more than an hour from Girona by truck, which makes road feeder services straightforward for the Empordà and the Costa Brava. Pharma, perishables and dangerous goods are therefore handled at BCN, with GRO serving as the region's passenger access point.
