Answer

What are the main environmental concerns linked to more flights in Mallorca?

The main concerns are noise, air pollution and higher emissions from aircraft and ground transport. More movements also increase pressure on local infrastructure, especially if many passengers arrive by car or taxi. For affected neighbourhoods, the issue is not only flight volume but also how arrivals and departures are managed on the ground.
