After a wave of complaints from passengers and staff about recent building work at Palma airport and then the leaks due to the heavy rain this week it now appears that luggage trolleys have gone missing. Apparently the airport operating company Aena has removed all luggage trolleys from the air side area, i.e. behind the security checkpoint. The measure affects passengers and staff alike – and is causing increasing discontent in the Son Sant Joan departure terminals.

RedbaronNot ALL comes with a piece of handluggage, are they?
RedbaronOoops I was a bit slow there. Of course after check in you can only have a handbag, and not a very big one either. So fair point. Makes more sense of the decision
1 peace of hand luggage why would you need a trolley
Palma airport 'management' has to be the worst in Europe. On a recent flight arrival it took me around 30 mins to get from the plane to the exit, and this was without the passport control! And as for the new parking lanes at departures! - Whoever came up with this shouldn't be allowed anywhere near an airport ever again.
Not often am I smacked in the gob but this is certainly one of those times. Is there any other airport in the world that has taken away the baggage trolleys from an entire section of airport leaving passengers to carry their bags. This is precisely the sort of Mallorca news that should be headlined around Europe. The Sun, Mirror, Express, Bild and all the rest. Then perhaps Aena will have a rethink. Which clown came up with that idea ? Or is it a sneaky backhanded way to reduce numbers, and therefore tourist overcrowding on the island . Answers on a postcard please.
