Ice chaos in Vienna: Why a delayed Mallorca flight reveals more than frozen runways

Answer

Why do Mallorca flights get delayed when an airport like Vienna has ice problems?

Mallorca is heavily dependent on punctual connections through major European hubs, so a disruption in Vienna can quickly affect flights to and from Palma. When an airport temporarily closes for safety reasons, delays, diversions and cancellations spread through the wider network. That can leave passengers in Mallorca waiting for updates long after the original problem started.
