Ceiling collapse in arrivals hall sends debris crashing onto baggage claim area at busy Majorca international airport

Just when travelers thought they were stepping into a sunny summer escape in Majorca, things took an unexpected turn at the airport.

Instead of a warm welcome, passengers were met with a sudden scare — part of the ceiling in the arrivals section gave way, sending debris crashing down.

Debris Rains Down in Baggage Claim

The incident happened at Son Sant Joan Airport, Majorca’s main international hub, earlier this afternoon.

Pieces of the roof, including glass and other materials, tumbled into the baggage claim area, right where new arrivals were expecting to pick up their luggage.

No Injuries, but Vending Machines Took the Hit

In what could have easily turned into a disaster, local media confirmed that, thankfully, no one was hurt.

The damage was mostly absorbed by vending machines stationed in the arrivals hall — meaning the flying snacks and drinks took the worst of it instead of people.

Peak Travel Season Crowds Add to Tension

The airport has been especially packed in recent weeks, with thousands of British tourists touching down daily to enjoy the summer sun.

This sudden ceiling collapse only added more stress to an already bustling terminal.

Emergency Measures and Safety Response

Airport staff and security teams acted quickly, sealing off the affected area and guiding passengers away from the danger zone.

The scene was quickly brought under control, though there were some delays and confusion as travelers were redirected.

What Happens Now?

With the damaged section now blocked off and repairs likely on the way, the airport will be facing questions about structural safety — especially during the height of tourist season.

For now, officials will be working to ensure this kind of incident doesn’t repeat itself as the summer rush continues.
