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

Answer

Is Palma airport prepared for an aviation fuel shortage?

Publicly available information about local reserves and emergency planning is limited, so it is hard for travellers to know how prepared Palma airport really is.
