Why the tax cut won't automatically bring cheaper Mallorca flights
Why extra Mallorca seats are not easy to add
Aircraft shortages and delivery delays limit how fast airlines can add Mallorca seats, which helps keep fares high.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Why is it hard for airlines to add more Mallorca seats quickly?
Airlines cannot expand capacity overnight because aircraft deliveries are delayed and fleet supply is tight. Even if demand for Mallorca is strong, there may not be enough planes available to add many extra flights. That shortage keeps pressure on prices.
