Kerosene uncertainty before the season: How safe are flights to Majorca really?
Why Mallorca is less likely to lose flight fuel
Spain’s refinery capacity and priority supply for islands help reduce the risk for Mallorca flights.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Why are Mallorca flights usually less exposed to fuel shortages than some other routes?
Spain has strong refinery capacity, so a large part of the aviation fuel needed for Mallorca is produced domestically. Island destinations in the Balearics also tend to have high priority in fuel distribution, which lowers the chance of immediate disruption.
