Answer

Do newer aircraft like the A321XLR make flights to Mallorca more sustainable?

More efficient aircraft can reduce fuel use per seat, which is an improvement compared with older planes. But if the number of seats and flights keeps rising, the total environmental impact can still grow. In Mallorca, sustainability depends on both the aircraft and the overall number of connections being added.
