Car Rental Mallorca Airport

Palma de Mallorca Airport is the island’s principal airport, situated 8 km east of the capital. Mallorca Airport, also known as Son Sant Joan Airport, is the third busiest airport in Spain. In 2023, the airport handled over 28 million passengers and received flights from around the world, mainly from the EU. Palma Airport serves as the main base for the Spanish airline company Air Europa and is an airline hub for EasyJet, Eurowings, Ryanair, Jet2, and Vueling. In 1960, Palma Airport became an international airport and received both domestic and international flights. As a result, there was a significant improvement to the airport’s infrastructure and operation systems, such as the expansion of the runway and taxiway, as well as the construction of a power plant to cater to the increasing energy needs. From that year onwards, Palma Airport saw a rapid passenger increase, with 7 million passengers in 1980 rising to 15 million in 1995. In 1972, the new Terminal B was constructed, and a second runway was added to the existing one. The current central terminal building was ready for use in 1997, and the airport was fully operational and able to respond to the increasing needs of passengers. The excellence of our Fly & Drive service stands out at Palma de Mallorca Airport, and we ensure a worry-free car rental experience.

Rent a Car Mallorca Airport

At the beginning of the 20th century, flights to Mallorca started with the establishment of a mail route between the mainland and the Balearic Islands. With the founding of the firm Aero-Taxi de Mallorca in 1934, the first tourist flights to the island were launched with their base at the airport at Son Sant Joan. The first scheduled route was launched by LAPE in 1935 and was replaced later by another main route within the country. Later, when Son Sant Joan became the military aviation facility, commercial operations were transferred to the Son Bonet airport. As air travel grew and Son Bonet reached its limit by the late 1950s, it was determined to construct a bigger commercial airport at Son Sant Joan apart from the military facility. Son Sant Joan Airport began accepting both domestic and international flights in 1960.

Over the years, as the number of passengers has increased steadily, the airport has expanded and changed, becoming the state-of-the-art facility it is today. The current contemporary Mallorca Airport offers daily connections to the EU as well as to international destinations. With over 28 million passengers in 2023, Palma de Mallorca Airport is one of the busiest airports in the whole country. Visitors worldwide, but mainly from the UK, Germany, and Scandinavia, fly to the airport year-round. Mallorca Airport tends to get crowded during the peak season, so it is advisable to rent a car to facilitate your stay. Car hire at Palma de Mallorca Airport includes a large fleet of well-maintained vehicles, superior customer service, and no-excess insurance. We guarantee safety and comfort, and no hidden fees are attached to your reservation.

Palma Airport has seen many developments, and additional infrastructure has been added since its operation. The rapid growth of passenger numbers led to the construction of new terminals, which now consist of four modules. Module A is the former Terminal A building, and Module B is the former Terminal B. Module C and Module D were constructed in 1997. The largest module of Son Sant Joan Airport is Module C, with 33 gates and nine air bridges. Module C handles flights to Schengen destinations and is mostly used by AirWings, Easy Jet, and Condor. All modules are fully operational and able to accommodate the passengers' increasing needs. Ninety-seven aircraft may be parked at the airport; 35 of those have access to the air bridge, and the two runways can accommodate the biggest commercial aircraft. There are two self-service desks and 195 check-in counters, and the check-in space is split into six zones, A through F. In the baggage claim area, there are nineteen carousels and eighty-four boarding gates. Palma Airport is equipped with contemporary airport facilities, information desks, duty-free shops, gift shops, ATMs, currency exchange offices, and numerous cafes and restaurants.
