When the 757 Disappears: A Quiet Change Over Palma

Answer

Will Mallorca flights become quieter after the Boeing 757 is retired?

Not necessarily in a dramatic way, but a different aircraft mix can change how the airport sounds. Newer narrowbody planes are often more efficient and may produce a different noise profile, although the effect depends on the aircraft that replaces the 757 on each route. For people living or working near Palma Airport, the shift may be noticeable in daily airport traffic.
