Don't you just hate it when all your dreams of vindication are dashed by reality? I suppose you can always resort to more wishful thinking. But unfortunately, we all know how that turns out. Still, this might help explain why alternate reality is so popular. Oh, by the way.. Airports tend to make improvements and repairs during periods of low traffic, you know, to minimise disruption? But let's not allow that to get in the way of a good alternate reality rant.
Initially Palma Airport was built to accomodate millions of passengers. Also several thousand Flights. But in the Winter as numerous repairs are needed. This Airport is losing its efficiency and remains at number 7 on the table of Airports. This is a great shame when billions of Euros were and continue to be spent on its structures.
