Jet fuel, costs, chaos? Why Mallorca's summer flights suddenly seem fragile

Answer

Why are Mallorca flight prices affected by global oil and geopolitics?

Airlines depend heavily on fuel, so shifts in oil markets quickly affect operating costs. Geopolitical tension can add pressure by making supply less predictable and pushing prices higher. For Mallorca, that can translate into more expensive tickets even when nothing changes at Palma airport itself.
