Construction work will start as early as 2023: tram to Palma de Mallorca Airport is coming

A new tram line is intended to make the journey from Mallorca Airport to the capital Palma more comfortable and environmentally friendly.

The construction work for the tram in Mallorca should have started in 2011, but something always got in the way. But it should really start next year. The Balearic Prime Minister and the Transport Minister of the Spanish central government laid the foundation for this when the agreement was signed between the two institutions. This guarantees the Balearic Islands the full financing of the first construction phase of 185 million euros for the "Trambadía", which means something like tram on the bay. The total cost of the project would amount to 250 million euros, as mallorcazeitung.es reports.

The journey time on the approximately 10-kilometer route with 16 stops between Son Sant Joan Airport and Plaça d'Espanya in downtown Palma should be 30 minutes, with one train running every ten minutes. Later there should also be a connection to Ballermann. The first train is scheduled to run in 2027, until then millions of holidaymakers will continue to rely on buses, taxis or rental cars, which can cost time and nerves, especially in the high season. In addition, traffic often builds up on the highway towards the city, especially when holidaymakers push into the city instead of to the beach in bad weather.
