Palma de Mallorca Airport

Palma de Mallorca Airport is the third busiest airport in Spain by passenger traffic. Commonly referred to as Mallorca Airport or Son Sant Joan Airport, it is located on the island of Mallorca, part of Spain’s Balearic archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea and one of the islands that make up the Balearic Islands autonomous community. The airport is situated in the south of the island, around 8 kilometres from the city of Palma, the capital of both Mallorca and the Balearic Islands.

Tourism on the island of Mallorca

Thanks to its mild climate and famous crystal-clear waters, Mallorca is one of the Mediterranean’s leading tourist destinations, with the vast majority of visitors arriving from international markets. Palma de Mallorca Airport falls within the category of major European airports handling between 25 and 40 million passengers per year.

In 2025, Palma de Mallorca Airport handled a total of 24,802,227 international passengers, compared to 8,990,044 domestic passengers. International traffic accounted for approximately 73.4% of all travellers using the airport.

Overall, the largest volume of international passenger traffic to Mallorca comes from Germany, particularly from airports such as Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Cologne, followed by the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Domestic traffic is also significant, with most Spanish passengers arriving from Barcelona-El Prat Airport, Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, Ibiza, Valencia, Menorca, Seville, Alicante-Elche and Málaga Costa del Sol airports. Domestic traffic alone accounted for nearly 9 million passengers during 2025.

Palma de Mallorca Airport is already operating with the new European EES (Entry/Exit System), which replaces manual passport stamping with biometric border controls for non-EU travellers. The airport has introduced new registration kiosks and dedicated lanes for British passengers in an effort to reduce waiting times, although some delays at passport control have been reported during the first months of implementation, particularly during the peak summer season.
