Balearic Islands attract more air passengers: 15.8 million by November

Answer

Why are so many more passengers flying to Mallorca and the Balearic Islands this year?

Passenger numbers have risen because the islands remain a strong travel destination and airlines are still adding capacity, especially on short-haul routes. A large share of the traffic comes through Palma de Mallorca Airport, which acts as the main gateway for the Balearics. The increase is noticeable, but it has not turned into an overwhelming surge.
