Answer

Are delays at Palma airport worse in summer?

They can be, because Palma airport gets much busier during the holiday season. More passengers, tighter ground operations and higher pressure on baggage and bus transfers can all make delays more likely to spread. That does not mean every summer flight is late, but the risk is usually higher when demand peaks.
