The Government has once again lashed out at Aena over the advertising campaign located at Palma airport, which it considers to be encouraging excessive tourism. The Executive has taken the opportunity to advocate for the airport co-management law – pending approval in Congress – as a tool to have more decision-making capacity in situations like this.

Aena has responded to the Government's criticism over the installation of a large advertising banner at Palma Airport which, according to the Executive and a large part of the public opinion of many residents, projects an image of Mallorca associated with tourist excesses.

Palma tops the ranking of most sought-after destinations for German travelers to start 2026. This is according to data from the flight search engine Jetcost, which confirms a renewed surge in European end-of-year tourism and places the Balearic capital as the top choice for the German market between December 26, 2025, and 2025. Interest in traveling during this period continues to rise. According to Jetcost, flight searches for the end of 2025 have increased by 10% compared to the previous year, a trend that solidifies Christmas and New Year's travel as one of Europeans' favorite getaways. And, once again, Spain is positioned as the most searched country to start the new year, ahead of Italy, France, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. The weight of the German market

In this context, Palma stands out strongly. Besides leading the preferences of Germans, the city also occupies prominent positions in other markets: it is the eighth most sought-after destination for the British and French, the ninth for the Dutch, and the eleventh for the Italians and Portuguese. This data confirms the broad appeal of the Balearic capital beyond the peak season.
