Mallorca private jet tax: Armengol targets luxury tourism

Mallorca and the rest of the Balearic Islands could face a tax on private jets: Francina Armengol pledges to introduce one to curb pollution. The Socialist candidate for the Balearic Islands in the Spanish Congress election made the promise at a campaign event in Eivissa, on Ibiza, on 15 November 2026.

Armengol also wants Ibiza to start limiting this kind of tourism. She argues that the island’s economy should spread wealth more widely rather than focus on luxury, and that tourism must remain compatible with life for the people who live there.

Her plans extend to housing across the Balearic Islands, including Mallorca. Armengol says a change of government is needed to apply the state housing law and cap rents. She wants a left-wing government in May 2027 to put those measures in place.
