Answer

What does co-management of airports mean for Mallorca?

Co-management would give the Balearic institutions more influence over airport decisions, something many people in Mallorca see as a way to gain more say over capacity and flight planning. But the legal and political balance is complicated because airports are also managed at state level in Madrid. Even with more regional involvement, any real change would still need clear rules, political agreement and time.
