E-cigarette on board: How a small puff causes major disruptions on Mallorca routes
Why E-Cigarette Vapor Can Disrupt Mallorca Flights

Published: April 21, 2026
Answer
Why can a small amount of vapor cause a delay on Mallorca flights?
Aircraft lavatory smoke detectors are very sensitive because they are designed to catch real fires quickly. That means vapor from an e-cigarette can trigger alarms and force the crew to follow emergency procedures, even when there is no fire.
