"Fewer tourists, more everyday life": Reality check on the new demo in Palma

Answer

Does the renovation of Son Sant Joan airport mean more tourists in Mallorca?

Not automatically. A higher number of gates or a modernised terminal does not by itself prove that more flights will be scheduled, but it can make operations easier and may encourage airlines to add frequencies. The main issue is that reliable official figures on capacity and future use are still unclear.
