Palma de Mallorca Airport or Aeropuerto de Palma de Mallorca (IATA: PMI, ICAO: LEPA) is an airport located approximately 8 km east of Palma de Mallorca, adjacent to the village C'an Pastilla. Previously known as Son Sant Joan Airport or Aeropuerto de Son Sant Joan, it is the third largest airport in Spain, after Madrid Barajas International Airport and Barcelona International Airport. During the summer months it is one of the busiest airports in Europe. The airport is a hub for German carrier airberlin.

Son Sant Joan Airport occupies an area of 6.3 km². Due to rapid growth of passenger numbers, additional infrastructure was added to the two terminals A (1965) and B (1972). This main terminal was designed by local architect Pere Nicolau Bonet and was officially opened on April 12, 1997. The airport now consists four gate areas: Terminal A is mostly used for domestic flights, while Terminals B, C and D are for international traffic. The airport handles 25 million passengers per year, with a capacity to dispatch 12,000 passengers per hour. Future plans includes an increase of the passenger capacity to 32 million passengers in 2010 and to 38 million passengers in 2015.

[edit] Statistics

Despite a decline in passenger numbers at the airport following the events of 11th September, 2001, numbers have risen steadily since 2001 with over 22.3 million passengers using the airport in 2006.

In addition to those listed above, there are also numerous charter flights.

Since 2002 the former Terminal B is no longer in use. The new terminal B known as Módulo B or Interislas has been built next to the control tower, and is used for inter-Islands (Mahón and Ibiza) flights.

Terminal A, part of the original airport, is currently being used for the majority of British bound low fares and charter flights. Easyjet has its own set of boarding in this part of the airport, which has also been recently expanded to create two levels of gates.
