GROwing: The New Brand to Promote Girona – Costa Brava Airport and Attract New Airlines
GROwing has launched as the new brand to promote Girona – Costa Brava Airport and attract new airlines. The Girona – Costa Brava Airport Strategic Board, including the Diputació de Girona, Generalitat de Catalunya, and the Girona Chamber of Commerce, backs the initiative.
The brand presents the Vilobí d’Onyar terminal as an efficient, fast, and profitable option for travelers to reach Costa Brava and Girona Pyrenees, and Catalonia.
The GROwing brand debuted during CONNECT 2025, the leading international congress for the aviation industry. The event took place at the Girona Exhibition Centre. The GROwing initiative is the result of collaboration between the Airport Strategic Board, Aeroports de Catalunya, the Catalan Tourist Board, and the Girona Chamber of Commerce.
Aiming for Growth and Connectivity
GROwing aims to position Girona – Costa Brava Airport as an appealing option for airlines. The goal is to attract new routes and continue airport growth. In 2024, the airport almost reached 2 million passengers (1,997,571), a milestone not seen since before the pandemic.
The brand name combines the airport’s IATA code (GRO) and the word “wing,” symbolizing growth and aviation. The slogan, “Your fast track to Costa Brava and Catalonia,” emphasizes the Vilobí d’Onyar terminal as a comfortable, fast, and congestion-free alternative to larger airports.
