Overview

• Air traffic at Palma’s Son Sant Joan airport was suspended after multiple cockpit crews reported a drone near the runways.
• Enaire said the shutdown lasted 35 minutes, while some media reported a 52-minute interruption from 18:58 to 19:50.
• At least eight arriving flights were diverted, with one outlet documenting 13 diversions to Ibiza, Menorca and Barcelona.
• Delays continued into the early hours of Monday even as the airport and Enaire reported that traffic had returned to normal.
• Investigators used a police drone, radar and aerial surveillance but initially found no operator, reflecting a pattern of recent drone-related disruptions at European airports.
