Rapid landing for life: Air traffic control clears Mallorca's airspace

Answer

Why do Mallorca airport flights sometimes get direct landing clearance?

At Palma Airport, air traffic control can give one aircraft priority when it is needed for an urgent mission, such as a medical transport. That means other arriving planes may be held back or slightly adjusted so the priority flight can land quickly and safely. The system is designed to protect both the urgent flight and normal airport operations.
