Answer

Why do passengers sometimes end up overnight in Geneva after a Palma flight?

If a diversion leaves too little time for a same-day connection, the airline may need to arrange an overnight stay. Some passengers from the Palma flight continued by train, while others remained in Geneva because their onward travel could not be completed that evening.
