Why the tax cut won't automatically bring cheaper Mallorca flights
Why Mallorca flight prices do not simply fall with lower taxes
Even with lower taxes, Mallorca fares may remain high because airlines set prices based on demand, capacity and operating costs.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Why do Mallorca flight prices stay high even when airlines face lower taxes?
Airlines do not price tickets like shop items with a direct discount passed on to customers. They adjust fares based on how many seats they can sell, how much demand there is, and how expensive it is to operate the route. If seats are limited, prices can stay high despite a tax reduction.
