UNITED AIRLINES continues its expansion in the Balearic Islands, aiming to consolidate and grow its international routes. According to Antonio de Toro, the airline’s sales manager in Spain, there is a possibility that a new direct connection between Washington DC and Palma could be established in the coming years, complementing the existing New YorkNewark - Palma route. “Next year or within two years, we could further increase weekly or seasonal frequencies. If the route continues to grow, we will likely see what has happened in other European destinations such as Venice and Nice,” said De Toro.

Since its launch in 2022, the Palma Newark connection has become one of the most in-demand routes for American travellers. United has experienced a 75 per cent increase in seat availability since its inauguration and has now decided to expand capacity by 50 per cent for summer 2025, adding more frequencies
and extending the season until October 25. The expansion of the Palma - New York route is part of United Airlines’ largest international growth in history, which will add six new destinations and nine transatlantic routes in 2025. Among them are direct flights from New York-Newark to Bilbao, Palermo, Nuuk, and
Madeira, as well as new connections from Washington DC/Dulles to Dakar, Nice, and Venice. The Consell de Mallorca, together with United Airlines, continues working to strengthen the island’s connectivity with the United States, further enhancing its appeal as a year-round destination for international travellers.

The first half of the year saw 3,105 properties purchased by Polish nationals, reflecting a 28.5 per cent increase compared to 2023. By the third quarter, this growth continued, with nearly 1,300 homes acquired - a 62 per cent rise from the same period last year. The surge has propelled Poland to fourth place in foreign property transactions, surpassing the United States and Russia. The Mediterranean coast and Spanish islands have become key hotspots for these investments, with their appealing climates and lifestyles drawing interest from Polish buyers. The increased activity reflects Poland’s growing role in Spain’s real estate market, highlighting Spain’s allure as a top destination for international property investment.
