On Friday afternoon there was panic in the arrivals area at Palma Airport when smoke blew in from a tree that had been deliberately set alight in the vicinity of where Uber vehicles park.

The incident occurred at around 4pm. There was a large cloud of smoke, the tree having been set fire to by a homeless man who was subsequently arrested by the National Police.
