The journey time from Plaça Espanya to the airport will be approximately 30 minutes. Trams will leave Plaça Espanya every ten minutes and will have room for 250 passengers. There will be sixteen stops on a 10.8-kilometre route that will go along the Avenidas, turn into C. Pérez Galdós and pass through El Molinar, Coll d'en Rabassa and Can Pastilla, where a flyover is to be built to take the tramline over the motorway and to the airport. There will be two flyovers, the other at the end of Avda. Mèxic to cross the motorway into El Molinar. Because of the loss of street car parking to accommodate the tram, car parks are due to be created.
Work is due to start next year and to be completed some time in 2026. The project was presented on Thursday and has to be put out to public consultation. The period for submissions is until December 13.

Don't panic it will never get built.
Google calls it at 9.3 km to Palma central. 30 mins by bike and 11 mins by car. So 30 mins on a tram is pants. Who is getting on and off at all those 16 stops? Straight line, no stops 15 mins maximum. No one wants a direct and local line combined. Stupid.
The bus is already quicker.
I think it is 8 stops between plaza España and the airport and the same in reverse, so a total of 16 stops. But I might be wrong.
Someone’s got it wrong. 16 stops and thirty minutes is mental, if true. Hopefully not, but you never know. Screwing up good ideas is an art form here. The recent debacle over the dedicated vehicle lane from the airport is a classic example.
Zoltan Teglas16 stops ? surely not, that would mean a stop every 400 metres?
30mins to Palma, doesnt sound right, its only 3 mile ?
Let’s hope it’s not plagued with violence and disorder that we keep hearing about on the trains from Palma to Inca etc, especially in the evenings with security guards having to be employed then also getting beaten up, appalling state of affairs.
Great news!
