MÉS per Mallorca rejects the forecasts of the new Airport Regulation Document (DORA), which plans to increase the number of passengers at the three main airports of the Balearic Islands to nearly 50 million annually by 2031. The eco-sovereigntist deputy in Congress, Vicenç Vidal, believes that the Islands can no longer sustain more airport growth and questions whether the 1.03 billion euros of planned investment should be used to expand the facilities' capacity.

Aena's works council at Menorca airport has warned that it does not rule out calling a strike during the August 15th long weekend if management maintains its stance and does not open negotiations to strengthen the workforce. The mobilization comes after reporting that the increase in passengers and operations in recent years has not been accompanied by an increase in staff.

The tourist overcrowding of the Balearic Islands continues to increase. The number of tourists visiting the Archipelago during the summer season could increase again, and this time thanks to Ryanair. The company announced new routes this Thursday connecting Palma with different points in Europe and an expansion in the offer of seats and flights to visit Ibiza and Mallorca.

According to Aena, Son Sant Joan has accumulated 98 delayed flights: 43 departures and 55 arrivals. Two flights scheduled to arrive from Paris have also been canceled.
