    History

    A Legacy of Private Aviation

    In 1958, the authors of the 1958 National Airport Plan proposed the construction of a large civilian airport near the Son Sant Joan airbase, with the plan being approved the following year. This was the inception of Palma de Mallorca Airport. A terminal and a civilian apron were built south of the military facilities that year, along with a VHF communication center. Then on July 7, 1960, the airport was opened for both domestic and international travelers. Only two weeks later, urgent aiport expansion was declared by the government, and during the summer of 1961 the start of runway and taxiway extensions began. More improvements were made toward the end of the year, including a power plant, a communications center, and fire and rescue facilities. A new terminal was built in 1965, and at the end of the following year, air navigation services were finished. Construction of a second runway, parallel to the existing one began in 1970, and two years later, terminal B was fully operational, with the second runway (06L/24R) opening in 1974. Increased passenger traffic during the 1980s led to the construction of yet another new terminal building, which is the current central terminal building. Construction began in 1993 and wasn't finished until 1997. In November 2015, Air Berlin announced that it would shut down its hub operations at the facility. All seven domestic connection routes to the mainland, such as flights to Valencia and Sevilla, eneded during the spring of 2016.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions about flying private to Palma de Mallorca.

    Yes, private jet flights offer flexible departure times. Operators generally provide a window of 30 minutes to two hours, but this can be extended upon request, provided it doesn't conflict with crew duty limitations or subsequent flight schedules. It's best to confirm this flexibility with your aviation advisor when booking.

    Generally, each passenger on a light or midsize private jet can bring one piece of luggage, with each piece weighing up to 23 kilograms (about 50 lbs). However, larger jets, which are often used for longer journeys, typically allow passengers to bring more than one piece of luggage per person to accommodate extended stays.

    Yes, all passengers on international private jet flights must go through customs. Certain countries require customs clearance at designated ports of entry. For instance, flights heading to Bora Bora must stop in Tahiti for customs. Similarly, when entering the U.S. from Mexico, passengers must clear customs at the first port of entry.

    Crew members must have a minimum of 10 hours of rest within a 24-hour period. Their duty day cannot exceed 14 hours, followed by a rest period at their hotel. Typically, flight operators schedule around 12 hours of rest to accommodate travel time to and from the hotel, ensuring the crew has adequate rest.

    A fuel stop usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. To expedite the process, the flight operator or pilots often notify the fueling service in advance, so a fuel truck is ready upon the jet's arrival. For smaller aircraft, refueling might take as little as 30 minutes.

    Yes, on most private jets, luggage can be accessed during the flight because the luggage and passenger areas are on the same level. This contrasts with commercial flights where luggage is stored separately in the cargo hold. On larger private jets, luggage is often stored in an area behind the lavatory, making it accessible during the flight.

    Private jet passengers can enjoy a variety of catering options, including local cuisine. While standard snacks and beverages are typically available, meals that do not require cooking can be ordered in advance. Any hot food must be pre-cooked and can only be warmed on board.

    Yes, pets are welcome on most private jet flights. It's important to inform the operator in advance, as there may be specific requirements or a small cleaning fee. Ensure that all necessary documentation and vaccination records for your pet are current. For domestic U.S. travel, dogs and cats must be at least eight weeks old and weaned.
