Former Condor 757s: A Jet Is Being Dismantled in Wales — What It Means for Mallorca

Answer

What happens to old holiday jets when they are retired from service?

Retired aircraft are often dismantled so usable parts can be removed and sold, reused, or processed further. The remaining materials are then recycled or disposed of, depending on their condition and the local rules that apply. In the case of former Condor jets, this process is happening outside Mallorca, but it still affects aircraft operations on the island.
