Fog paralyzes Son Sant Joan: Why visibility disrupts the flight schedule — and what could help now

Answer

Why are taxi queues so long when Palma Airport is affected by fog?

When flights are delayed or arrive in clusters after poor visibility improves, many passengers head for the same taxis and shuttle buses at once. That creates long queues, especially at the airport access road and during the busiest morning hours. In Mallorca, the problem is often made worse when local transport updates do not keep pace with flight changes.
