Change of Control in Son Bonet: Mallorca Gets a New Air Traffic Control Center — A Reality Check

Answer

Is Son Bonet in Mallorca a suitable place for a major air traffic control center?

Technically, the location may work because it offers space for a modern complex and related training facilities. But it is not a neutral site: the surrounding landscape is still strongly agricultural, so land use, sealing of surfaces and environmental effects need careful review. A project of this size should be judged on both technical value and local impact.
