Answer
Why is the car incident at Mallorca Airport being treated as a security concern?
The main concern is that a vehicle reached a protected airport area and came very close to the runway without being stopped right away. That suggests possible weak points in fencing, surveillance, or reporting between different authorities. Even without injuries, the event exposed a serious vulnerability in a high-risk area.
