Introduction
Ever since 2002, when the Palma de Mallorca Airport
implemented its UNE-EN ISO 14001:2004 Environmental
Management System, our efforts have focused on
developing and implementing the commitments acquired
as part of the environmental principles present in Aena’s
environmental policy, as well as on ensuring we are in
compliance with all applicable legal requirements.
Proof of this commitment to Aena’s environmental
excellence is the periodic review and update of its
environmental policy, the last version of which, dated
June 2010, associated energy efficiency principles with
its environmental principles.
In an effort to continue fostering the awareness and
involvement of everyone associated with the airport,
actions were carried out in 2010 such as the creation
of an external environmental committee and the
organization of the third
North side of terminal building
annual Environment Day and the second annual
Occupational Risk Prevention day.
All of these activities were carried alongside those that
have a direct effect on protecting the environment or
minimizing impacts, such as cutting down on the amount
of natural resources consumed, reducing discharges and
waste, increasing the amount of waste that is recycled
and monitoring noise levels.
This 2010 environmental management report for the
Palma de Mallorca Airport has the dual purpose of
disseminating the activities and the goals accomplished in
this period and of raising awareness in and encouraging
people, companies and agencies to continue contributing
to this common project. We hope you enjoy it.

Airport description
The Palma de Mallorca Airport is marking its 50th anniversary since it was opened to commercial air traffic. It
has grown exponentially ever since, becoming one of the
most important airports in the Mediterranean, the leading
airport in terms of tourist traffic and Spain’s third busiest
in passenger volume (21,117,417 passengers in 2010),
behind only Madrid and Barcelona.
Located on the Palma bay at the southwest of the island,
and only 8 kilometers away from the city of Palma, the
airport is a top category airport: it has two runways for
takeoff and landings and is open round the clock (24 h a
day all year long).
Although summer always sees the most activity, the airport is still striving to become less seasonal. Domestically, the most important routes are to and from Barcelona and Madrid-Barajas, and internationally, Dusseldorf
and Manchester. In terms of vacation and residential
tourism, Germany contributes the most passengers to
this airport, followed by Spain and the United Kingdom.

Aena’s environmental and energy policy
On 8 June 2010, the President and General Manager
approved an update to Aena’s environmental policy
which introduced aspects involving continuous improvement and energy efficiency at Aena facilities.
With it, Aena’s policy came to be called “Aena’s Environmental and Energy Policy”.
All Aena personnel and its Human Resources Department, which provides new employees with a copy,
were informed of the publication on the intranet of
Aena’s new Environmental and Energy Policy. Also
informed were contractors and concessionaires that
work within the airport complex.
Environmental and energy commitment
Aena, Spain’s airport and air navigation authority, as a
leader in providing safe, quality and efficient air transportation services through its airports and air navigation system, is cognizant of its commitment to society to
protect the environment and of its role in contributing
to the sustainability of air travel.
En esta línea, el compromiso de Aena con el medioambiente se ha venido desarrollando de forma
constante y continua, a través de la definición de un
conjunto de programas y actuaciones, así como de
un progresivo incremento en la asignación de recursos para el logro de sus objetivos medioambientales.
Todo ello se articula en base a una Política Medioambiental y Energética, en continua revisión, que ha calado con fuerza en la conciencia colectiva de nuestra
organización.
Asimismo, la variable ambiental es incorporada en
todas las etapas de nuestra actividad: planificación,
proyecto, construcción y prestación del servicio, permitiendo, a través de los oportunos indicadores, la
definición de medidas de protección, compensación
y corrección que minimicen los impactos que potencialmente se asocian a la actividad aeroportuaria, de
navegación aérea y de desarrollo de infraestructuras,
Consistent with this responsibility, one of Aena’s goals
is excellence in the provision of the services assigned
to it. This requires, as part of the Spanish Strategy on
Sustainable Development, the application of measures
that allow for the sustainable development of air travel
by striking a balance between its costs and its social,
environmental and economic benefits in order to yield a
positive result for our society.

Along these lines, Aena’s commitment to the environment has been a constant and ongoing process, one
that has involved defining a set of programs and actions, as well as a gradual increase in the resources allotted for achieving its environmental commitments,
all hinged around a constantly updated Environmental and Energy Policy that has taken root in our organization’s collective consciousness.
The environmental variable is likewise present in every
aspect of our daily activities: planning, projects, construction and provision of services. By using suitable
indicators, we can define preventive, protective, compensatory and corrective measures to minimize any
potential impact from airport activities, air navigation
and infrastructure development, thus ensuring higher
levels of environmental quality, economic progress
and the preservation of our natural values.
In keeping with this environmental commitment, the
implementation of new environmental management
systems is being promoted at airport and air navigation centers. These systems are based on internationally recognized norms that allow for the awarding of
environmental certifications.
In particular, as part of our commitments under the
Kyoto Protocol, we are striving to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions that contribute to climate change by
making the most of our energy resources and by turning toward the progressive use of renewable energies
as permitted by operational requirements.
This has all led Aena to establish a commitment for
environmental excellence to meet the social and environmental demands that will ensure the sustainable
development or air transportation in keeping with the
following principles:
8
Environmental and energy principles
To respect and protect the environment as a central
tenet in the management of those activities entrusted to
Aena in the area of airports and air navigation, as well
as in the development of aviation infrastructure and of
commercial spaces and services.
To make air travel compatible with preserving the environment such that today’s actions do not compromise
the quality of life of future generations, thus promoting
sustainable development.
To establish procedures for learning of and updating the
legal, environmental and energy requirements applicable to Aena’s activities and its legal commitments and for
complying with them.
To implement an Environmental Management System at
each center that is compatible with this environmental
policy, and which allows for the periodic definition of
environmental goals and objectives, as well as for the
systematic monitoring and evaluation of its level of compliance so as to assure constant improvement and the
prevention of contamination.
To have available the information and resources necessary to propose and achieve constant improvement objectives involving energy efficiency as a cornerstone for
reducing CO2 emissions, as part of Aena’s strategy for
sustainable development.
To promote actions intended to minimize sound levels and that allow for preserving the quality of life in
neighborhoods around the airport.
To use the technical and economic means available to
prevent the air pollution that may be associated with
Aena’s activities, while minimizing chemical emissions
and establishing suitable testing, monitoring and corrective mechanisms.
To promote the reuse, recycling and management of
waste in a way that is environmentally friendly.
Description of the Environmental
Management System (EMS)
The Palma de Mallorca Airport has a UNE-EN ISO
14001:2004 Environmental Management System (EMS)
in place and has been environmentally certified by
AENOR since 2002.
To streamline the consumption of energy and natural
resources through energy efficiency and the gradual
utilization of renewable energies.
The main goal of the EMS at the Palma de Mallorca Airport is to ensure compliance with Aena’s environmental and energy policy and with current environmental
laws. The EMS also commits the airport to continuous
improvement and preventing pollution.
To behave transparently with the public agencies, institutions and communities involved in Aena’s activity
and to cooperate closely with them so as to prevent
any potential environmental impact that may result
from those activities associated with air transportation.
The goal, thus, is to minimize the environmental impact
of the airport’s activity on its surroundings.
The EMS consists primarily of the following documentation:
Aena’s environmental and energy policy.
To inform all of Aena’s employees, contractors and
concessionaires of its Environmental Policy and to
make it available to our clients and to the rest of society.
EMS documentation (manual, general and specific
procedures, technical instructions and records).
Environmental management program.
To promote awareness in our staff through training
programs on the importance of the correct conduct
of their activities, encouraging their participation to
achieve our goals.
Environmental audits.
Annual management review.
To periodically revise the Environmental Policy to meet
the organization’s new objectives, adapting it to new
needs as they arise.

Environmental aspects
An environmental aspect is defined as any element of
an organization’s activities, products or services that can
interact with the environment.
Environmental aspects can be direct when they result
from normal activities, or potential when they are associated with emergency or risk situations.
Once identified, they are evaluated to determine the
risks and establish actions intended to minimize said
risks.

Control of consumption
The system for collecting and reusing the water used in
drills is still in service at the FFS facilities.
Water consumption
Potable water consumption:
Potable water for general consumption and reclaimed
water for irrigation are supplied by the company EMAYA.
The airport has a water purification plant in which the
water intended for human consumption is filtered by a
process of reverse osmosis.
In an effort to reduce the consumption of potable water, an initial phase of connecting the reclaimed water
network to areas irrigated with potable water has been
completed, data from water meters has been reviewed
to identify points with excessive water usage and water
feeders have been installed in the vehicle wash to prevent excessive water use.
Aena potable water usage: decreased by 20.11% with
respect to 2009.
- Ornamental fountains: increased by 31.19%
- Irrigation with potable water: decreased by 65.75%
- Human consumption: decreased by 9.25%
Including the companies at the airport, potable water
usage dropped by 18.89% with respect to the year
before.
Reclaimed water usage for irrigation: increased by
48.89% with respect to 2009.

Monitoring of discharges
Storm drains
Sewage network
As part of our commitment to avoid polluting the airport’s aquifer as much as possible, separators have been
installed in those areas with the highest risk of oil spills.
These separators are connected to the storm drains, and
all new construction areas where an absorbing well was
created also feature a separator.
The airport has its own sewage network that dumps into
the city’s network before processing at the Sant Jordi
treatment facility, located near the airport’s own facility.
In order to comply with municipal ordinances involving
discharge parameters, the airport monitors the activities of Aena and of airport concessionaires by sampling
the quality of the water discharged. Those areas that
pose the greatest risk of direct and diffuse pollution are
equipped with oil separators.
The quality at the water discharged at the outlet is determined through quarterly analyses of the suction tank,
which revealed an 83% compliance rate over the course
of 2010.
The water in the storm drains was sampled in the first
quarter. In March, this analysis revealed a violation in the
hydrocarbons, oil and grease parameters in one of the
absorbing wells.
Starting in the second quarter, the analyses were performed monthly as required by the Water Authority and
as a consequence of the permit to discharge rain water
to the absorbing well, which also specified the need to
study piezometric heights so as to determine the direction of underground water flows. This was done in October 2010.
The analyses for this second period revealed a 100%
compliance rate.
38
Monitoring of air quality
All jetway parking stands have a 400-Hz electrical
supply, which avoids having to use the auxiliary power
unit (APU) to keep systems onboard aircraft operational.
Atmospheric emissions
The boilers and diesel generators undergo periodic
maintenance and their emissions are analyzed as required by law. The measurements taken annually of
the boilers were consistently below limits. The opacity
parameter in the diesel generator analysis was over
the legal limit.
All AENA vehicles at the airport undergo routine
maintenance inspections..

Atmospheric pollutant levels
The airport features a system for tracking and monitoring air quality. This system consists of measuring
equipment (SANOA), that continuously gathers data on
inhalation levels for key contaminants (SO2, NO, NO2,
ozone, benzene, toluene, M-xylene, etc.). For every parameter, the values recorded were below the thresholds
specified by the various applicable regulations.

Control of noise emissions
There is an Integrated System for Monitoring Noise and
Flight Paths (SIRPA) at the airport that is
Reverse thrusters
The SIRPA system is used to track and monitor the use of
reverse thrusters during nighttime hours.
used to record noise levels and which allows the noise
made by an aircraft flying over any of the noise terminals
strategically located around the airport to be detected,
measured and associated with a specific aircraft.
The company that used reverse thrusters the most was AIR
BERLIN, with 41 occurrences over the course of 2010. This
was 45% of the total number of uses and 3.84% of its total
nighttime operations (1069). In 2009, AIR BERLIN used reverse thrusters nine times.
A slight increase was noted in the use of reverse thrusters
during nighttime landings with respect to the previous year.

Green landings
One of the goals of Aena’s Environmental Action Plan is to
implement Constant Descent Approach (CDA) procedures,
also called “Green Landings”, for the airports in its network
during nighttime hours. The goal is to decrease noise levels
by 4 to 6 dB A (decibels A) in towns located between 11
and 22 nautical miles from the runway threshold and to cut
CO2 emissions by 300 to 480 Kg per flight.
These procedures were presented by Aena’s Environment
Director to town hall and neighborhood representatives at
a meeting held in early December, and went into effect at
the Palma Airport in mid December of 2010. They were
published in the AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication)
on 16 December 2010.
Noise complaints
Only one complaint involving aircraft noise was received in
2010 out of a total of 174,634 movements.
Noise Isolation Plan
Aena is carrying out a Noise Isolation Plan (PAA in Spanish) to soundproof homes located within the airport’s noise
footprint, the goal being to have noise levels within said
homes be below the maximum permissible by law.

There was a decrease in the number of non-conformities
with respect to previous years due to the increasing environmental awareness of the companies. The highest
number of deficiencies in 2010 was observed in the areas
of waste management and control of discharges.
In 2010, a total of 158 companies located within the airport
complex were inspected and 307 visits were made as part
of the environmental monitoring of companies program.
The environmental compliance of the companies that operate at the airport increased by 7.55%.

Training and awareness
The environmental lectures dealt with the following topics:
3rd Environment Day
Environmental management at Iberia
On 2 December 2010, the 3rd Annual Environment Day
and the 2nd Annual Occupational Risk Prevention day
were held. This event focused on improving energy efficiency and highlighted the good environmental management by companies at the airport.
Various lectures were given on environmental and occupational risk prevention topics. These lectures saw
greater participation than in previous years.
Energy efficiency and renewable energies

Award to the company with the best environmental management
All of the companies that engage in year-round activities
at the Palma de Mallorca Airport, either through a contract or concession, are eligible for this award. The same
assessment criteria were used as in the year before.
The award recognizes the efforts of that company that
implemented measures over the course of 2010 to improve its environmental management.
The panel that judged the candidates included representatives from the Balearic Island’s Environmental
Council, CAEB, AENOR Balearic Islands and the Board
of Governors of the Palma de Mallorca Airport.
52
Panel and winners of the 3rd Environment Day
The winner for 2010 was AIR EUROPA, which was presented with a replica of the Anfora sculpture located
in the airport as well as with a commemorative certificate.
External Environmental Committee
One of the initiatives undertaken in 2010 by the Environmental Department was to create an External Environmental Committee so as to improve the airport’s environmental
management. This committee’s members are those airport
companies with the greatest environmental impact.
This committee meets every four months, and met in July
and November 2010 to discuss topics involving waste
management, the consumption of general resources, non-
conformities and a presentation on best practices regarding
discharges to the storm drains.
(Columba palumbus), the rock dove, the mallard duck
and the house sparrow.
Environmental recommendations
The airport’s falconry permit for use in controlling bird
populations was renewed in 2010 by the Government
of the Balearic Island’s Environmental Council.
The personnel at Aena and at the airport companies
were sent the following awareness messages in 2010:
Emissions: emissions and music
Consumption of natural resources
Waste: oil as waste
Our natural setting
Fauna
The results of the study on bird populations at the Palma de Mallorca Airport in the third quarter of 2009,
conducted by the BCN Falcon Center, were received
in 2010. The study identified 75 bird species, with the
most abundant being the rock dove (Columbia livia),
followed by the corn bunting (Emberiza calandra), the
house sparrow (Passer domesticus), the red-legged partridge (Alectoris rufa) and the barn swallow (Hirunda
rustica).
Falcon
The highest diversity is seen in the autumn months,
coinciding with the migrations of several species.
Fifteen bird species have been identified around the
artificial pond, most of them common wetland species.
In terms of aviation safety, the most problematic resident species are the cattle egret and the yellow-legged
hull. Other species of potential concern in terms of air
traffic safety are the common wood pigeon
Bird control
53
Flora
There are several types of vegetation within the airport
complex, most of which exhibit a clear anthropic influence. This vegetation is adapted to the soil type, the
semi-arid Mediterranean climate, the depth of the water table and to the different uses to which the soil has
been subjected over time.
The typical garrigue vegetation grows in the highest
elevations, with a tree stratum of Aleppo pines (Pinus
halepensis) and a shrub stratum of Pistacia lentiscus,
Olea europaea and cistaceae. Around the airport perimeter the growth of plants intended to attenuate
noise levels has been encouraged. Of note is the artificial berm several meters in height at the south runway
54
which shields the population of Can Pastilla from noise.
This barrier was initially covered in tamarinds, pistacias,
Aleppo pines and olive trees, though it was left unirrigated for several yearsso that spontaneous vegetation
would grow in its place. At the north perimeter there
is a large area of Aleppo pines of various ages mixed
with typical Mediterranean garrigue plants. On a side
note, the first case of a red-palm weevil infestation affecting a Canary palm within the airport complex was
reported in 2010.
The woody Helianthemum marifolium sp. origanifolium grows in the Es Carnatge protected area. This
small, creeping plant is endangered in Mallorca and its
populations are surveyed annually by the Environmental
Council.
Collaborative projects
Mosquito control in the Sant Jordi-Palma Airport area
In December 2010, the campaign to track and control
the mosquito populations in the airport’s wetlands came
to an end. The year 2010 was particularly favorable to
booming mosquito populations due to the exceptional rainfall received in May (116 mm), which left large
water-logged areas near the north and south runway
thresholds. The surface water did not drain until late
July, leaving large pools of water during months in
which average temperatures hover above 20º C, thus
accelerating the mosquito’s biological cycle.
To deal with this exceptional situation, Aena took part
in programs in concert with the Palma City Hall, EMAYA
and the Laboratory of Zoology and Emerging Diseases
at the UIB, to combat the mosquito population in 2010.
The use of pesticides was started in May to control the
larvae and adult mosquitos in flooded areas and surrounding vegetation. The type and volume of pesticide
used was coordinated and supervised by UIB technicians
through weekly updates on the mosquito population in
the Sant Jordi-Palma Airport area.

Steps to lower the water table of the Sant

As noted in the previous section, the strong rains of
2010 flooded several areas in and around the airport
until well into the summer season. These conditions
strongly favored the proliferation of mosquitos in the
Palma bay, causing a nuisance to residents and tourists
alike. To reduce the size of the flood area, the Water Authority, in coordination with local administrations, land
owners, the Son Sant Joan military base and the Palma
Airport, launched initiatives in the summer intended to
lower the water table in the affected area. Before pumping the water out to the stream that empties into the
sea, the S’Uyal canal and the irrigation ditch that runs
under the south runway was cleaned and the water level was monitored to ensure it would not interfere with
the safety of airport operations.

Neoghborhood meeting
Community relations
As part of its commitment to collaboration and open
communications, the airport invites community representatives to get involved in airport activities. The goal of
these meetings is to address topics of interest in a cordial
and transparent setting that allows for problems and concerns to be presented and for joint solutions to be found.
Four meetings were held in 2010: in February and October with neighborhood associations and business and
hotel owners from Playa de Palma, and in June with town
halls. In December, so as to take advantage of a visit from
Aena’s Director for the Environment, a joint meeting was
held with town halls and neighborhood associations.
When maintenance work requires closing down either
the north or south runway, the town halls of Palma, Marratxí, Santa Eugenia, Costitx, Calviá and Sencelles are
notified, as are neighborhood associations in Ca’n Pastilla and Sant Jordi, business owners associations in Ca’n
Pastilla and hotel owners associations in Playa de Palma.
Environmental Management Award
In January 2010, the Palma de Mallorca Airport was
recognized by the Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification (AENOR) for its commitment to
the environment and for seeking constant improvement
in this area.
.
This distinction recognizes the environmental management effort made by Aena at the Palma de Mallorca
Airport.
The Environmental Management certification allows
the airport to minimize its environmental impact while
reaping the financial benefits obtained from optimized
energy and water usage and from improved processes.
