Answer

What role do ground staff and base airports play in handling disruptions?

Ground teams, fleet planners, and the base airport coordinate replacements, accommodation, and updates for affected passengers. They also work with local partners to move people toward alternative flights or onward transport. In Mallorca, efficient coordination with Palma de Mallorca Airport and local service providers matters for a smoother response.
