When the Tank Runs Low: What Mallorca Should Do About Fuel Risks for Air Traffic

Answer

Why is Mallorca so vulnerable to aviation fuel problems?

Mallorca relies on air traffic for most of its visitor flow, so any disruption in fuel supply can have a quick impact. The island also has limited local storage, which means it cannot easily absorb longer delays or shortages. That makes both airport operations and tourist arrivals more sensitive than on mainland routes.
