When Palma Briefly Held Its Breath: 75 Years of Son Sant Joan and the 90 Minutes That Stopped Flying

Answer

How did the Son Sant Joan airshow affect flights in Mallorca?

The temporary closure led to delayed departures, postponed landings, and some re-routing of passengers through Palma. A few travellers missed connections, while others waited at the gate until operations resumed. Even when changes are announced in advance, travel plans can still be disrupted if passengers do not see the information in time.
