Etihad Palma–Abu Dhabi connection falters: Who bears the risk — the airline or Mallorca?

Answer

What can Mallorca airlines do if bookings drop before a new route starts?

Airlines can lower frequency, adjust schedules, or bring in codeshare and transfer partners to improve the load factor. They may also pause a launch rather than operate a weak route with too many empty seats. In a case involving Mallorca, quick changes matter because timing and seasonal demand can shift fast.
