As the Mediterranean's main tourist destination, the Illes Balears enjoy excellent air links with Spain and the principal cities in Europe and the world.

The main airlines flying to the Illes Balears are Spain's Iberia, Air Europa and Spanair, alongside many charter and foreign airlines. All of the islands are well interconnected by regular flights run by Iberia (Air Nostrum), Air Europa, Spanair and Air Catalunya.

Every year, the Illes Balears receive visitors from all over the world, although the main tourist markets of origin are Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden and Ireland.

The islands also have outstanding ports which are the alternative gateway to the Illes Balears, although with much fewer passengers. Regular lines operated by Transmediterránea and Baleària Eurolínies Marítimes link the Illes Balears with Barcelona and Valencia. Likewise, the port of Palma de Mallorca is also a stopover point for a large number of Mediterranean cruises.
