Slowly, but surely, those responsible in Mallorca are getting nervous that the 2021 holiday season could be really difficult due to the slow progress of Covid vaccinations in the EU. Now the airport operator Aena is reacting and wants to reduce the fees.
Company boss Maurici Lucena announced that the airlines will save a total of around 23,8 million euros. With this measure one wants to grab the carriers under the wings and at the same time stimulate tourism.
According to Mallorca Zeitung, Lucena expects that significantly more tourists from the United Kingdom and Germany will come to the Mediterranean island from May 2021. The infrastructure has been prepared accordingly. In the previous year the airport made a loss of 126,8 million euros. In 2019, the company still had a profit of 1,442 billion euros.
