Ryanair to quit Girona
Have just read this article in l'Independant, copied below, saying Ryanair are quitting Girona. As the article also states, let's hope Ryanair don't quit Perpignan.
La compagnie low cost irlandaise Ryanair opère cette année un repli de Gérone vers Barcelone : tous ses vols devraient rejoindre la capitale catalane d'ici le mois de décembre.
Aéroport 'Ryanair dépendant', Gérone accuse là un coup qui pourrait lui être fatal. Avec 1,2 million de passagers accueillis depuis janvier (déjà - 22 % par rapport aux sept premiers mois de 2013), l'aéroport renoue dans la douleur avec les chiffres de son trafic de 2004 et ne compte cet été 'que' 54 destinations quand il dépassait les 100 il y a peu.
Et même si ses responsables refusent le catastrophisme en voulant croire en l'arrivée de nouvelles compagnies, l'avenir de la plateforme de l'Emporda se trouve sérieusement compromis. En espérant que Ryanair ne 'délocalise' pas aussi ses vols de Perpignan.

airports
if only they flew to a larger choice of destinations!! Bristol? Birmingham? Manchester? or even to Paris CDG - for linking on to long haul flights!
And had flights to the UK all year round !
do they have a suggestions box at the airport does anyone know?
I for one would rather use Perpignan, but it really is so limited with its choice. Shame as it is an easy to use airport and so close for many of us

Perpignan airport
But these flights are not available all year. Birmingham-Perpignan would be great for us - but is only available July and August!

I wonder if it has anything to do with their dwindling fortunes.

It will be a great blow if Ryanair fades and disappears, as no matter what we have to say against them, they have provided millions of people with easy and accessible flying for years. Hope it's not a taste of things to come!

Hello! Don't worry, we are working to get year round services with cities such as Dublin or Birmingham but we are working now for next year program. It's just very difficult for us because the competition in this sector is very exacerbated and the current environment is not particularly conducive to our development.
Don't take seriously the article of L'Independant, they are saying a lot of bullshits (like usually) and want to get the buzz going. Ryanair is not going to leave Girona, they are just reducing their program as several destinations such as Paris Beauvais, London-Luton & Stansted, Brussels-Charleroi... were not enough profitable from Girona during winter season.
Just read & translate this new article from La-Clau (the key in catalan) which is a serious online newspaper specialized in political & economical articles concerning North & South Catalonia : http://www.la-clau.net/info/9352/ryanai ... irona-9352
So you will know now what is L'Independant's philosophy : the art to announce non-events & participate to the misinformation.

Good news and a warning to all about L'Independant. Having said that, there's not much Ryanair traffic from Girona-Barcelona after November 5th.

As I started this topic, here's the latest from L'Independant.
http://www.lindependant.fr/2014/08/19/r ... 919525.php
The only U.K. route I can find (from Girona) is to Glasgow (Prestwick) this is out of 12 routes after the beginning of November.

And one comment. From what I have seen La Clau is little better than a Catalan separatist organ of propaganda. I could be wrong, of course.

Girona airport
Maybe passenger numbers at Gerona are falling due to lack of onward connection possibilities e.g. demise of Frogbus?

Perpicat
Perpicat is a better connection in my view from Girona airport
as it stops in towns along the route as well as Perpignan.
Some posts would indicate that not all Forum members are aware of its existence.
It needs support though or it risks closing.
As to Ryanair leaving Girona - if the passenger demand is there for routes to UK I would think one of the lowcosts would seek to fulfil it.
I find Easyjet and Flybe much calmer airlines to use - much less stress - and prefer to pay slightly more than with Ryanair whenever there is that option.
Flying has become such a nightmare that even a long drive is starting to regain some of its attractions............
Train journey even more so, except for the change at Paris.
If only they would bring back the Car+Train option, with change at Lille.....
