Palma before the departure chaos: Ground staff strike plans put the island to the test

Answer

What part of airport operations is most likely to be disrupted at Palma?

The biggest risk is usually not the terminal itself, but the ground services that keep flights moving. Baggage handling, refuelling, turnaround support and other behind-the-scenes tasks can slow down the whole schedule if staff are missing. In Palma, that can quickly affect many flights, not just one aircraft.
