For an even bigger belly laugh (I think not) read the weeping and wailing in both Catalan and local foreign-language magazines about Ryanair pulling out of Girona.
Having spent billions on GRO to bring it up to the standards required for dealing with 100 movements a day, and having "had blood squezed out of them in subsidies" (Arena, 21.8.2010) Girona City Council is aghast at Ryanair shifting many flights from GRO to BCN starting September 2010, and rumour has it that when Ryanair's contract ends in 2011 they will shift nearly all flights to BCN, leaving (and I quote from 'El Punt' 21.8.2010) Girona airport a "deserted ruin".
Ah well, Ryanair - the firm you can trust......Perpignan City Council, who turned down Ryanair's offer to make PPG their southern hub if they paid FR enough, must be laughing all over their faces (and other areas).
