Ryanair announces a new Mallorca connection.
The low-cost airline, which critics have accused of poor customer service and unfair treatment of employees for years, will fly from Paderborn-Lippstadt Airport to Palma de Mallorca and back from March 2023. The company announced this. The route can already be booked.
As reported by industry services, there should be flights on Thursdays and Sundays from March 26th until May. From June up to and including August, Tuesday would be added as an additional flight day. The two-day flight schedule from Paderborn-Lippstadt will apply again from September 1st to October 26th.
Eurowings is already flying to the sunny island three times a week (winter 2022/23) from Paderborn-Lippstadt.
Mallorca is the most popular travel destination
Something’s going on in Malle again! The picture is from August of this year
Mallorca is considered the most popular travel destination in the Mediterranean. Before the corona pandemic, the number of passengers was 29.7 million. After a slump to 6.1 million visitors, the number of passengers last year was 14.5 million.
In 2022, air traffic was partially back to pre-pandemic levels. In August, the Aeroport de Son Sant Joan even reported a record: Between Friday and Monday, 3797 aircraft took off and landed on Mallorca. According to “Mallorca Magazin”, most flight movements in the same period up to that point were counted in 2019. There were “only” 3784 take-offs and landings.
Mallorca is trying to polish its image
Mallorca was considered a hotspot for drinking tourism, and the island wants to get rid of this image
The island, which was settled by many Germans as early as the 1920s, has been trying to polish its image for some time. Instead of drinking tourists, more families are to be lured to Mallorca.
Cheap bed castles should disappear, inner-city – for example in the Platja de Palma district – more green spaces should be created. After Corona, however, it was said that drinking tourism had gotten even worse than before the pandemic.
With 75 percent of the total economic output, tourism is the most important economic factor on the island. Most vacationers are German and British.
