Puppy on the runway — how safe is Son Sant Joan?

Answer

How do animals end up on the runway at Palma airport?

Animals can get onto airport grounds through a damaged fence, an open gate, or another weak point in perimeter security. At a large airport like Son Sant Joan, that should not happen, which is why such incidents raise questions about fencing, surveillance, and coordination. The presence of a puppy on the runway suggests that prevention failed somewhere along the perimeter.
