Weapons Depot at the Airport: How Safe Is Mallorca Really?

Answer

How safe is Mallorca if weapons are stored near Palma airport?

Safety depends on the exact type of material, the storage standards, and how well emergency planning is handled. The depot at Son Sant Joan is designed with reinforced concrete and blast resistance, but public concern remains because the exact contents and safety distances have not been clearly explained. In Mallorca, many people want the same basic assurances they would expect anywhere: transparency, independent checks, and clear emergency procedures.
