TIB airport bus routes (called AEROTIB):

How to get from the airport to other destinations across Mallorca
To reach other destinations by bus, take the EMT airport bus route A1 towards Palma City to Palma Estació Intermodal, Palma’s main bus and train station, at Plaça d’Espanya. The bus station, from where all TIB buses depart, is located underground, right next to the metro station. More information is available at the bottom of this page.
Where does the bus stop at Palma Airport?
Arrivals
The bus stops are directly opposite the public arrivals hall and are easy to find. Exit the arrivals hall through one of the doors numbered from 1 to 7. Door number 4 is in the central position for the bus stops, but it doesn’t matter which exit you choose, as the bus stops are clearly signposted.
Once outside, aim for the covered walkway, which is clearly visible from all vantage points. This will take you to a set of pedestrian traffic lights where you can cross the slip road. The bus stops are right across the road on the right-hand side.
As part of a larger refurbishment project at Palma Airport, a new central bus station was created, which was opened to the public on Friday, the 8th of August 2025. This means that all of the airport bus stops can now be found in one place.
Departures
All buses returning to the airport will drop passengers off right outside the departures hall on the upper level.
Where can I buy a bus ticket at Palma Airport?
Tickets for the EMT-, as well as the TIB-buses, can be purchased from the driver.
How do I pay for the bus in Mallorca?
You can pay in cash or by card.
Cash payment
If you prefer to pay in cash, please ensure you have small denominations or coins ready. Drivers often carry limited change and may be unable to break larger notes.
Banknote restrictions
Acceptance varies slightly depending on the service provider:
- EMT buses: Notes larger than €10 may be refused.
- TIB buses: Only notes of €20 or less are accepted.
Pricing
Please be aware that paying in cash is the most expensive way to travel. For the best value, we recommend using a contactless bank card to benefit from significant fare reductions (see below).
Card payment
Contactless card payments have been available on TIB buses for some time, and as of 13 March 2026, this facility has been extended to EMT services.
How to pay
If you choose to pay by card, simply tap your bank card on the reader when boarding.
- TIB buses: You must also “tap off” by scanning your card again just before exiting.
- EMT buses: There is no need to tap off when you reach your destination.
Fare reductions
Fares on both the TIB and EMT networks are significantly cheaper when paying by card, offering a 40% discount compared to cash single tickets. See the examples in the table below:
| Route | Cash Fare | Card Fare |
| A11 Aerotib Airport to Palmanova | €6.75 | €4.05 |
| EMT A1 Airport to Palma City | €5.00 | €3.00 |
Note: Paying by card is not only more economical but also helps speed up boarding times for all passengers.
