To this end, a motion has been presented to parliament by opposition party Més. This is with particular reference to the Aerotib services - four routes from Palma Airport to coastal areas. These services include stops in the likes of Algaida, Inca, Llucmajor and Vilafranca.
Spokesperson Ferran Rosa points out that these areas have residents all year round. He argues that stopping the routes at the end of October is a decision based on an erroneous view that these places are empty in winter. "This is not the case and it is unacceptable that some residents have to depend on whether or not there is tourism in order to be able to travel."
Rosa adds that the four Aerotib routes offer connections with other routes, e.g. the Campos service connects with Cala d'Or and Cala Bona with Cala Ratjada.

Jeremy Ponsenby-SmytheI agree with "long distance" BUT do they run to Pollensa and Alcudia from the airport? I see no timetable at the airport stop, or are you just being aggravating. For local destinations, to save using the €5 rip off to get to the intermodel, these buses are very useful. I am at a loss why the Campos bus has to visit S'Arenal when while waiting for the hourly Campos bus, a regular EMT Palma service passes by every 10 mins going to S'Arenal!
Totally with the guy below, went ro Pollensa in Nov last year, most things shut, really dull never again. CIt's near Palma or nothing in future.
Why have loss making buses to tumbleweed places like Alcudia and Pollensa in the winter 🤷♂️
They missed out that the bus to Campos is a link to Manacor, not just the SE part of Mallorca, do not think that Manacor empties out after the tourist season, same as Felanitx.
I would welcome Bus routes to the Airport throughout the Winter.
