Answer

What was the atmosphere like at Son Sant Joan during the open day?

The airport grounds had a festive feel, with children wearing radio headsets, old propeller aircraft on display, a military ensemble, and information stands. It felt more like a local event than a standard travel day, even though normal airport routines were also affected. For many visitors, it was a rare chance to see Mallorca's airport from the other side.
