Fewer Domestic Flights, More Mallorca: A Reality Check of the Airport Numbers

Answer

Does more air traffic to Mallorca automatically mean worse emissions?

Not automatically, but higher flight volumes do not solve the emissions problem either. If more capacity simply replaces other routes, the environmental impact still remains significant and needs to be measured properly. Clear reporting from airlines and airport operators is important if Mallorca wants a realistic debate about climate effects.
