Gerona-Costa Brava Airport

Gerona-Costa Brava is located in the north-east of Spain, 12 kilometres outside Gerona city. It is an important airport for tourists who go to the Costa Brava or to Barcelona and it is also the gateway to the Pyrenees, to the north of Gerona. It is especially thanks to the arrival of the Irish budget airline Ryanair in 2003 that Gerona has become more important. Ryanair uses Gerona as a hub for connections all over Europe. To increase capacity, the runway is being extended and the taxi lanes for airplanes are being improved. It is estimated that the airport will process 4 million passengers a year by 2010.
