Would highly recommend Iberia, Angels and her team at Girona were very friendly and helpful. If you are unable to reach them via email, please call and they will email you promptly. You'll need to contact AENA for approval of landing at Girona, no slot was required and you'll also need to contact a fueling company on the airfield. CC Iberia into all emails so they can sort things if needed.
We used EXOLUM (SCLA) for our fueling. For transfers to the Santa Susanna area where we stayed, my friend booked with one of the local coach companies From2 who provided the transfers for us with various holidaymakers on board. Private taxis are now easily doubled at 70-90 EUR one way.

Handling is mandatory for general aviation at Girona (LEGE), with several agents available including General Aviation Service, Centervol, Iberia, and Aviapartner. Slot coordination is typically required for both arrival and departure; handlers arrange slots and parking. IFR and VFR operations are supported, with ILS approaches available. Communication with handlers by email is generally prompt, and responses for handling requests are usually received within a day.
Fees for GA operations vary significantly depending on the handler and requested services. Handling charges since 2021 typically range from about €100 to €110, with additional airport fees such as landing and parking around €40–€60. Infrastructure and slot arrangement fees may add €20–€25 each, plus minor disbursement charges. Total costs for a short stay can reach €200 or more when all mandatory fees are included. Example: handling about €100; landing and parking about €40; infrastructure fee about €30; slot arrangement about €20. Some older reports mention much higher or lower charges, but current fees are generally in the medium to high range for the region.
Fueling is available but often delayed due to prioritization of airline traffic; waits of up to one hour are possible. Payment for fuel may require additional formalities such as providing a tax identification number (NIF) if not flying privately. Avgas and JetA1 are available on request through handlers or directly from fueling companies like EXOLUM (SCLA).
Facilities include a dedicated GA apron (often on the north side), with escort or shuttle service between aircraft and terminal provided by the handler. The El Mirador restaurant is within walking distance from the apron, offering good meals. Hotel Vilobi is accessible in about 10 minutes on foot from the terminal area. Rental cars are available but should be pre-booked; offices may be closed outside scheduled arrivals except by prior arrangement.
Ground transport options include private taxis (about €70–€90 one way to Santa Susanna) and scheduled buses to Barcelona city center (about 1h10 travel time, bus schedules may vary). Walking between GA parking and the terminal is possible when escorted or wearing high-visibility vests.
ATC is professional but can assign downwind runways regardless of wind direction; strict adherence to published approach profiles is required. The airport handles significant Ryanair traffic but accommodates GA without major operational issues. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
Customs and immigration services are available without extended prior notice requirements; a 3-hour prior notification suffices for international arrivals.
Girona LEGE is suitable for non-commercial general aviation flights seeking access to northern Spain or the Barcelona region, offering efficient handling but at medium to high cost compared to nearby alternatives.
