When the Night Hums: How Palma Can Stop Drone Deliveries to the Prison
Why Drone Deliveries Often Happen at Night in Palma

Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Why do drones often fly at night over Palma prison?
Night flights are harder to notice and give operators more cover, especially around the outskirts of Palma. In quiet conditions, a small drone can be difficult to hear until it is very close. That makes night-time the preferred window for organised deliveries.
