Severe weather disrupts Palma Airport — what this means for travelers

Answer

Are connecting flights from Mallorca more likely to be affected by storms?

Yes, connecting and short-haul flights are usually the most vulnerable during stormy weather in Mallorca. When one incoming aircraft is late, the next departure often has no spare time to recover, which can affect the whole connection. This is especially noticeable on routes to mainland Spain and nearby islands.
