Answer

Why is the Düsseldorf–Palma route being used to test green aviation fuel?

Short, frequent routes like Düsseldorf–Palma are useful for testing because the fuel volumes are manageable and the operations are easy to track. Airports and airlines can learn how refuelling works, how reliable production is, and what the real costs look like. For Mallorca, that makes the route a practical test corridor rather than just a symbolic one.
