Nador, Perugia, Poitiers, Skelleftea,
Stockholm, Thessaloniki and Turku
from March 2012. Ryanair’s Girona

7 August 2011 - Bad weather in July |
|
|
The very poor
meteorological conditions last month (July) resulted in a 5
to 7 percent decline in hotel occupancy rates. Official data
are not available yet, but the first estimates suggest hotel
occupancy rates in the Girona province of around 50 percent.
The hotel industry hopes the numbers improve in August (so
far it looks good !) and that they won't be affected by bad
weather like that of July, which is recognised as one of the
coldest and rainiest months of July in recent years. |

Ryanair/Generalitat de Girona - Latest |
|
|
|
|
Budget
airline Ryanair announced on Tuesday
(26/07) that they plan to reduce routes from Girona Airport from 46 to 25, an
additional 21 routes. This new cut is to
be implemented in October, at the start
of the winter season, and is in response
to the lack of a competitive agreement
being reached with the Catalan
Government, company Vice President
Michael Cawley announced at a press
conference in Barcelona.
Ryanair
already announced the cancellation of 18
routes from Girona Airport in February,
reducing the number of routes from 64 to
46 and the number of weekly flights from
300 to 194. The new cuts will mean an
additional 50% reduction on the volume
of passengers (from 2.6 million to 1.3
million) scheduled to transfer via
Girona airport with the airline, and
a reduction in aircraft from six to
three.
Cawley, however,
maintained that Ryanair is still willing
to continue negotiations ahead of the
summer of 2012, and opened the door to
future recovery to levels of previous
years, when they carried up to five
million passengers, reported ABC News.
Despite the
reduction in service, Ryanair’s Girona
base will remain open until at least
March 31. Of the destinations to be
cancelled, 4 are domestic and the other
16 are international. The domestic
routes to be deleted are those between
Madrid, Alicante, Sevilla and Tenerife,
and the international routes affected
include Brussels, two in London,
Liverpool and Rome.

30
June 2011 -
Ryanair/Generalitat de Girona agreement is near |
|
|
|
|
|
The Generalitat
de Girona has agreed to pay Ryanair 7,5
million €uro annually, half a year after the disagreement
between the government and Ryanair and after traffic at the
airport at Girona has declined to preoccupying levels, the
Generalitat de Girona has offered the airline company
practically the same amount as in the pre accord, plus the
possibility of charging an additional amount for each
passenger transported over the 4 milllion per year base
stipulated in the agreement. Now the signature of the
airline company remains to finalise the agreement. |

June 2011 -
Ryanair traffic on Girona Airport is shrinking |
|
|
|
|
|
While the
agreement between the Generalitat de Girona and Ryanair
regarding the airport of Girona seems as distant as ever,
the passenger numbers are suggesting a serious concern - 41,4%
fewer passengers in Girona during the month of May and 31,1%
fewer overall during the first five month of the year 2011.
The figures also indicate that the airport in Barcelona
continues to grow, thanks to Ryanair. |

23 June 2006
- Bush fire at the
Begur Castle in the evening of 23 June 2006 |
| |
|
|
During the celebrations
of Midsummer Eve (Sant Joan) in Begur this year a very unwelcome bush fire
broke out close to the Begur castle. Fire crews from neighbouring
villages came very quickly to the scene and the fire was under
control in no time.
Let us hope that the use
of fireworks - which probably was the cause of the bush fire - will
take place with greater caution in the future ! |
