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 Can 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 Air Berlin.

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 of four gate areas: Terminal A is mostly used for domestic flights, while Terminals B, C and D are for international traffic. The airport can handle 25 million passengers per year, with a capacity to dispatch 12,000 passengers per hour. Future plans include an increase of the passenger capacity to 32 million passengers in 2010 and to 38 million passengers in 2015.
