Empuriabrava aerodrome is one of the most renowned skydiving centres in Europe, offering tandem jumps and free-fall courses all year round. Located two kilometres east of Castelló d'Empúries, it is a private aerodrome commercially operated as Skydive Empuriabrava since 1985, which in 2012 passed into the hands of a sovereign wealth fund from Dubai. It records around 6,000 take-offs a year and close to 130,000 jumps, as well as photography and aerial advertising flights, tourist flights, and its role as a private pilot school. It has an asphalt runway measuring 800 by 20 metres and an aircraft parking apron of 7,500 square metres.
