Antalya Overtakes Mallorca for Autumn Getaways as Palma Faces Strikes and Weather Warnings

TUI data signal entrenched late-season demand reshaping routes and capacity.

Overview

  • TUI lists Antalya as the top autumn destination for German travelers, with Mallorca now second, Hurghada bookings up by more than 30 percent, Costa de la Luz newly in the top 10, and 64 additional TUI flights scheduled for the season.
  • Palma airport warns of recurring Azul Handling walkouts through December 31 on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in three windows—05:00–09:00, 12:00–15:00, 21:00–23:59—if no agreement is reached.
  • Earlier disruption intensified on August 16 when Menzies Aviation staff joined the action, though a provisional deal later suspended their planned 24‑hour weekend strikes.
  • Aemet issues coastal alerts for northern Mallorca with gusts near 60 km/h and waves up to about 3 meters after a short warm spell turned cooler and windier.
  • France’s SNCTA has called an air traffic control strike for October 7–9 that could cause delays, reroutes or cancellations for Mallorca flights crossing French airspace, so travelers should watch for airline advisories.
