Next time that Tom Cruise flies into Mallorca he won't be able to use his private jet if Greenpeace have their way. They are calling to a complete ban on private jets at Palma airport. In a statement this morning the group said that private jets produce ten times more C02 (per passenger/kilometre) that your average jet airliner.

why not stop the tourists going in bars and cafes just allow the locals who will sit all night w ith a small coffee i have seen this many times many tourists will spend more in one night than lots of tourists spend in a year
This can't happen, no way am I getting on a plebeian Easyjet, Ryanair or Jet2 flight with the great unwashed underclass!
Yeh well, indeed Greenpeace can want a lot of things but that’s all they can do. None of the “facts” listed here are new to anyone. It’s business, free economy, supply & demand, etc. Not in our lifetimes will we see such a ban. Tax them more, shame them more, sure. But to ban it: ain’t gonna happen!
Green peace do not have the authority to prevent any Aircraft from arriving at Palma Airport. Mallorca is very happy to host Celebrity visitors and property owners. But no doubt they will try various actions, so the Airport Security will need to be very alert, to what they may try ,to prevent Private Aircraft landing.
