What time do public transport services from Palma airport begin?

Public transport from Palma airport typically starts early enough to connect with the island’s first flights, with buses generally running from around 5:30 AM. The TIB bus network provides regular routes to Palma city centre, Alcudia, and other popular towns, with schedules adjusted seasonally to handle tourist demand. The Ma-19 road makes reaching destinations like Llucmajor or Manacor by bus straightforward, while routes toward the Serra de Tramuntana and Soller follow the Ma-10, linking to the historic railway for a scenic start to your journey.

If you’re arriving very early in the morning, it’s best to check current timetables in advance, as some routes may begin slightly later on weekends or off-peak months. Evening services usually run until around midnight, but outside of bus hours, taxis and ride-sharing apps are easily found at the airport. For connections into Palma’s interior, the Palma metro also offers quick links from central locations, though it does not directly serve the airport.

Planning transport before you arrive can save time and ease, especially if you want to head straight to beaches like Es Trenc or Cala Mondrago, or towns hosting local festivals such as Sant Sebastia in Palma or Festa de l'Ametler in Sóller. Overall, the island’s public network is dependable throughout the day, but early risers and late arrivals should always verify schedules to avoid waits.
