Second Wave of Strikes Hits Mallorca's Airports — Travelers Must Rethink Plans Now

Answer

Why are Mallorca and the Balearic Islands being hit so hard by the airport strike?

The strike affects ground handling, which is essential for check-in, baggage and aircraft turnaround. In Mallorca and the wider Balearic Islands, many airlines rely on the same local service providers, so a dispute there can quickly affect a large share of flights. That is why even travellers whose airline is not striking directly can still face problems.
