Answer

Why do flights from Mallorca get diverted to another airport?

Flights from Mallorca can be diverted for several reasons, including wind, technical issues, air traffic control decisions, or other operational factors. A diversion does not automatically mean something serious has happened, but it does mean the aircraft cannot land at its planned airport. Passengers are usually taken on to their original destination by coach or another arranged transfer.
