Palma de Mallorca Airport was opened y the Government in the twentieth century to promote air mail services between the Balearic Islands and mainland Spain. Aeromaritima Mallorquina was granted a licence for the Barcelona-Palma airmail service, which was closely followed by an air taxi company promoting tourism in Majorca which started in 1934. The first flight route was opened between Palma and Madrid the following year, and three years later Lufthansa and Iberia launched new routes for military use. In 1958 the Son San Joan Airport opened its doors to commercial airlines staying as just one terminal until 1960 when it was expanded to include both domestic and international traffic.
Continual growth necessitated a new terminal designed by Pierre Nicolau Bonet opening in 1997. This has every modern amenity and services including a range of facilities for car hire.
