Arrests at Palma Airport: Two employees detained after alleged thefts

Answer

Are vending machines at Palma Airport cash-based?

Some vending machines in airports still rely on physical keys and cash collection, which can create security risks if access is not tightly controlled. The case at Palma Airport highlighted how cash inside machines can become a target when someone has the right key. Wider use of contactless payment can reduce that risk.
