Flight compensation from Palma de Mallorca Airport
- IATA PMI — Son Sant Joan, on Mallorca's south coast about 8 km east of Palma.
- Spain's third-busiest airport, with four boarding modules (A to D) inside a single terminal.
- Traffic is sharply seasonal: summer low-cost and charter flights to Germany and the UK dominate.
Palma de Mallorca Airport is the gateway to the Balearic Islands and one of the most seasonal large airports in Europe, approaching 30 million passengers in peak years. Managed by the Spanish operator Aena, it is built around one terminal split into four boarding modules, with Ryanair, Vueling, easyJet, Eurowings, Condor and TUI carrying most of the summer traffic.
Your passenger rights
Palma is an EU airport, so every departure is covered by Regulation EC 261/2004 whichever airline you fly and wherever it is based. Arriving three hours or more late at your final destination, a cancellation announced less than 14 days ahead, or denied boarding on an oversold flight can be worth €250 on short routes such as Madrid or Barcelona and €400 on longer flights within the EU, for example Berlin, Düsseldorf or Stockholm.
Tips for claiming
Peak-season disruption at Palma tends to cascade, because your aircraft is often on its fourth or fifth rotation of the day — and the airline still owes compensation for a knock-on delay. Photograph the departure board, keep your boarding passes and note the time the doors actually opened at the gate, since that is what the three-hour test measures. If you are stranded overnight and the airline refuses a hotel, book something reasonable, keep the receipts and claim them alongside the fixed amount.
