Mallorca Airport on the Balearics Spain
Palma de Mallorca (Majorca) Airport or Aeropuerto de Palma de Mallorca (IATA:
PMI, ICAO: LEPA) is located 8 km east of Palma de Mallorca, near the village of
Can Pastilla. Also known as Son Sant Joan Airport or Aeropuerto de Son Sant
Joan, it is the third largest airport in Spain, after Madrid's Barajas Airport
and Barcelona Airport. During the summer months it is one of the busiest
airports in Europe. The airport is the main base for the Spanish carrier Air
Europa and also a hub for German carrier Air Berlin
Due to rapid growth of passenger numbers, additional infrastructure was
added to the two terminals A (1965) and B (1972). This main terminal was
designed by local architect Pere Nicolau Bonet and was officially opened on 12
April 1997. The airport now consists of four gate areas: Terminal A is mostly
used for domestic flights, while Terminals B, C and D are for international
traffic.
