Answer

What does Spain’s airspace ban mean for Mallorca flights?

The main effect for Mallorca would be operational rather than dramatic: some military overflights could be reduced or rerouted, and that can also affect civilian aviation planning. If routes, refuelling stops or timings change, it may create extra coordination for airports, cargo operators and airlines serving the island.
