Answer

What kind of airport changes may be needed in Palma if larger aircraft are used more often?

Palma Airport may need to review gate layouts, bus capacity and baggage processes if larger aircraft become more common. Bigger jets can mean more passengers moving through the terminal at once, which puts pressure on transport links and waiting areas. The airport experience depends not only on the plane, but also on how well the ground systems adapt.
