Black Ice at BER – Why Mallorca's Airport Suffers

Answer

Why do delays at one airport cause problems for flights in Palma, Mallorca?

Airlines operate tightly connected schedules, so a delay at one airport can affect aircraft, crews, and return flights elsewhere. If a plane arrives late in Palma or leaves Berlin late, the next flights can also shift. That is why a single disruption can affect passengers in Mallorca for many hours.
