Gerona – is that the Italian one, because Barcelona one Gir/Gerona is served daily with B738, and Milan Bergamo and Rome Ciampino are already slated for Feb.
Charleroi was served for about 18 months up until last January time at which point they switched to Barcelona for the summer, but vowed it would return.
Either way theres going to need to have some more concrete layed. Summer at present would look something like 8x EZY nightstoppers, 1x VLM F50, at least 2x FlyJem ATPs (eventually), 1x BAL B752, 1x MON A320, 1x AAG L188 = 14 Aircraft, plus Emerald 748s, numbers of which vary and the nightly mail operation utilising Emerald 748s plus Aurigny ATR and 2x Channex F27 gives in the region of 20 stands required already. Around a third of these are remote anyway at present.
Air Wales, Aer Lingus, FlyBe and Wizz do/will not have any nightstopping aircraft, but once Ryanair get started things could get interesting if they expand at there usual phenominal rate! 4 aircraft to start with?
I have heard the large long-stay car park which has been open a year or so may be the next apron, not specified what for (Cargo or as a pax satellite?), but the airport only tarmaced it to earn some money this year rather than owning more grass! Other mootings indicate a terminal over by the tower – who knows!
