Who Benefits from the Half‑Hourly Flight on the Edge? Aena, Investments and the Island's Interests

Answer

How is the Palma airport investment funded, and who benefits financially?

About €970 million has been budgeted or spent, with a large portion already allocated for 2022–2026 and more planned for the following years. Aena, a state‑connected operator, reports strong profits, which raises questions about how any additional revenue is reinvested locally. Transparency on how profits support local infrastructure is crucial for public trust in Mallorca.
