From Abu Dhabi, Al Bateen Executive Airport (AZI / OMAD) is the preferred departure hub; Zayed International Airport (AUH / OMAA) accommodates larger aircraft. In Girona, the gateway is Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO / LEGE), a regional AENA-operated airport located 12.5 km south-west of Girona city and 74 km north of Barcelona city centre. Known for handling significant a low-cost carrier traffic marketing it as 'Barcelona-Girona', the airport also accommodates private aviation charter movements. Barcelona El Prat Airport (BCN / LEBL, 100 km south) is the comprehensive alternative for very large aircraft or when Girona is not operationally suitable, with excellent ground transfer connections to both Girona and the Costa Brava.

With one technical stop, the Abu Dhabi (AZI / AUH) to Girona (GRO) total block time is approximately 8 to 9 hours. On arrival, Girona's Roman walls and the Cathedral are approximately 15 minutes; the Costa Brava's Cadaqués 60 minutes; and the famous coves of Tamariu and Llafranc 50 minutes. Barcelona is approximately 90 minutes by road , making GRO a practical dual-use entry for both Costa Brava and Barcelona.

Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO / LEGE) has limited operating hours and is not a 24-hour facility; late-night movements require advance coordination. For out-of-hours arrivals, Barcelona El Prat (BCN), which operates 24 hours, is the recommended alternative. Our operations team manages all ENAIRE/AENA coordination and advises on optimal scheduling as standard.

We coordinate premium chauffeured transfers from the airport. Girona city centre is 15 minutes; Figueres and the Dalí Theatre-Museum 35 minutes; Cadaqués and Cap de Creus 60 minutes; and the resort towns of Platja d'Aro and Palamós 45 minutes. For guests continuing to Barcelona, a 90-minute chauffeured transfer along the AP-7 motorway is standard. Helicopter transfers to any Costa Brava or Balearic Island destination can also be arranged.
