The regional director for ports observation that there doesn’t appear to be space to accommodate civilian seaplanes in Puerto Pollensa shouldn’t come as any great surprise. Where and how would they be moored? This was a question raised when, a few weeks ago, the Majorcan Aeronautical Foundation, which has been behind the initiative for a seaplanes training centre, had intimated that there was something of a green light for it from two authorities - the Air Safety Agency and the ministry of defence.

Fun? .....they'd tax it.
Here we go again. The miserarable authorities clamping down on any new and interesting initiative while stopping private rentals etc. And ruining small business. Really. I’ve flown on seaplanes in Australia and Canada where they are common. The docks are actually quite small. No reason why they could not be built. You’d think that the authorities would welcome a small initiative for pleasure flights and even for those who can’t afford them, there’s a thrill watching them take off and land on water. This island has become a joke. Miserable people governing here. How about a little fun for once.
