Answer

Is Palma airport safe enough during high season?

Palma airport is built for heavy traffic, but high season always puts pressure on access control, boarding procedures, and staffing. That does not mean the airport is unsafe; it means every weak point becomes more visible when passenger numbers are high. For travelers, the sensible approach is to stay alert, follow staff instructions, and allow extra time.
