Palma de Mallorca Airport, International airport in Son Santjoan, Spain
Palma de Mallorca Airport is an international airport on the Balearic island in southern Spain. The terminal consists of four connected modules that handle passenger flow from check-in areas to departure gates.
The facility began as a seaplane base in the 1920s before opening as a full airport in 1960. A second runway was added in 1974 to accommodate growing traffic.
The airport functions as the main entry point to Mallorca island, supporting the region's position as a Mediterranean travel destination.
The airport sits roughly 8 kilometers (5 miles) east of central Palma and is reachable by bus, taxi, or rental car. Terminals include accessible pathways and facilities for travelers with reduced mobility.
During peak summer weeks, passenger volume can exceed 12,000 travelers per hour. This intensity brings the airport temporarily to a traffic level comparable to major European hubs.
