Answer

Can someone enter Palma Airport’s secure area without taking a flight?

At Palma Airport, access to the secure area is usually linked to a valid ticket and normal passenger screening. In practice, airports can still be exposed if someone buys a ticket only to enter the terminal and then does not board. That is one reason airports need close checks on staff flow and passenger movement.
