Answer

Will Palma airport expansion improve safety and livability for Mallorca, or simply enable more flights?

Expansion aims to improve safety and passenger experience, but many residents worry about noise and traffic. Without clear prioritization aligned to local needs, the gains may come with local burdens. Thorough environmental and noise assessments, plus mechanisms to reflect community goals, are essential to judge the impact on daily life in Mallorca.
