€112.4 Million for Girona Airport
AENA will invest €112.4 million in Girona-Costa Brava Airport between 2027 and 2031, as confirmed in the newly approved Airport Regulatory Document III (DORA III). The investment plan was approved by Spain's Council of Ministers on Tuesday, 15 September 2026, and outlines airport funding across the country for the next five years. This funding is part of a wider €1.96 billion allocation for Catalonia's four main airports. Barcelona-El Prat will receive the largest share at €1.76 billion, followed by Reus with €62.7 million and Sabadell with €22.3 million.
National Airport Upgrade Programme
DORA III will mobilise €13 billion in total across Spain’s airport network from 2027 to 2031. Of this, €9.9 billion will come from airport user charges, with the remainder sourced from AENA’s commercial activities, such as retail and parking at terminals. The Spanish government has identified international connectivity as a strategic priority. Air traffic has already surpassed pre-pandemic levels and continues to set new records, according to ministerial data.
The investment reflects the growing demand and the need to modernise infrastructure to maintain high service standards.
What This Means for Girona
The €112.4 million will support infrastructure improvements, operational upgrades, and enhanced passenger facilities at Girona-Costa Brava Airport. While specific projects have not yet been detailed, the investment is expected to improve flight capacity, terminal efficiency, and sustainability measures. Local businesses and tourism operators anticipate that upgraded facilities will help attract more airlines and seasonal routes, particularly from European markets.
Residents and travellers can expect further announcements from AENA on project timelines and construction phases as the 2027 start date approaches.
