Girona-Costa Brava Airport is a low-elevation field at 468 ft (143 m), positioned at 41.9046° N, 2.7618° E in the Northern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 7,874 ft / 2,400 m. The airport clock uses Europe/Madrid (CEST, UTC+02:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Salt is the closest retained city-time anchor at 8.2 km. BCN Barcelona is the closest retained airport alternative at 88 km.
GRO is compared with BCN Barcelona at 88 km, REU Reus at 157 km, PMI Palma de Mallorca at 262 km, ZAZ Zaragoza at 316 km, VLC Valencia at 383 km inside the retained Spain airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.

OurAirports classifies GRO as a large airport with scheduled service, which gives it stronger planning value than a code-only lookup.
GRO (LEGE) is a low-elevation field at 468 ft (143 m) in the mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
GRO sits in a broader regional network with 5 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
GRO's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 7,874 ft / 2,400 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
Aena is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for GRO.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at aena.es, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
GRO uses Europe/Madrid (CEST, UTC+02:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Girona-Costa Brava Airport is about 76 km from central Girona; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
BCN Barcelona is the closest retained alternate at 88 km, time difference +0h.
aena.es is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place GRO inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
GRO ranks #4 in the curated Spain airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 12 airports.
GRO shares Europe/Madrid with AGP Málaga ES · ALC Alicante ES · BCN Barcelona ES · MAD Madrid ES · PMI Palma de Mallorca ES · REU Reus ES. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
GRO is 468 ft (143 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include YYT 461 ft (141 m) (7 ft delta) · KUF 477 ft (145 m) (9 ft delta) · PSP 477 ft (145 m) (9 ft delta) · YHZ 477 ft (145 m) (9 ft delta) · HRB 457 ft (139 m) (11 ft delta).
GRO's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are BCN 88 km +0h · REU 157 km +0h · MPL 210 km +0h · TLS 223 km +0h.

Because the airport sits well outside central Girona, surface transfer planning matters almost as much as flight timing, especially for late arrivals and early departures.
Barcelona is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Girona-Costa Brava Airport has 5 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from GRO, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.

Girona-Costa Brava Airport does not have a long carrier list in the current source trail, so this page emphasizes the durable pieces travelers can safely use here: local time, field identifiers, nearby airports, and timezone differences.
The route timing references show the first cross-timezone planning burden after this airport: Barcelona (BCN), Reus (REU), Montpellier/Méditerranée (MPL). Treat them as distance and clock cues, then verify flight availability with the carrier.
