Why the tax cut won't automatically bring cheaper Mallorca flights
Why a tax cut does not automatically mean cheaper Mallorca flights
A lower air traffic tax does not automatically reduce Mallorca flight prices. Demand, capacity and airline pricing still matter most.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Will lower air traffic taxes make Mallorca flights cheaper right away?
Not necessarily. Ticket prices are shaped by demand, available seats, fuel costs, airport charges, and how full the aircraft are, so a tax cut is only one small part of the final fare. On busy Mallorca routes, strong demand can keep prices high even if one cost item falls.
