16 hours on board: When winter chaos leaves passengers stranded

Answer

Can airlines leave passengers on board for many hours during weather disruptions in Mallorca?

Airlines can keep passengers on board during severe weather-related disruption if safety rules or airport conditions make disembarkation difficult. But long waits without clear information, food, or access to a terminal quickly become unreasonable for travelers. In Mallorca, passengers should expect that airport and airline decisions depend on safety, but they also have a right to clear communication and basic care.
