No public record scores Palma de Mallorca to Newark Liberty International flight by flight. The US Department of Transportation's on-time database covers domestic flights only, and in Europe only the United Kingdom publishes punctuality by route, so what follows is built from the three measurements that do exist. The DOT's international report counts 168 flights between the two airports in the twelve months to June 2026, about two departures a week in each direction, flown by United. EUROCONTROL's year-to-date figure has 62.9% of all departures from Palma de Mallorca leaving within 15 minutes of schedule and 74.9% of arrivals landing within 15 minutes. At the other end, 77.4% of EWR's domestic departures arrived on time in the DOT data, which says something about how the airport itself runs, not about this route.

On EUROCONTROL's year-to-date arrival punctuality, Palma de Mallorca ranks 31st of the 41 European airports on this site with service to the United States. Bilbao leads that table at 84.3% and Manchester closes it at 65.7%. A long-haul departure inherits the airport's morning: an aircraft that arrived late from its previous sector, or a departure queue built up by weather, delays the transatlantic wave with everything else.

US DOT, last twelve months of domestic departures

Without a route-level record, the useful question is what the two airports do to a schedule. EUROCONTROL attributes 1.6 minutes of air traffic flow management delay per arriving flight to Palma de Mallorca so far this year; that is delay imposed by the network to hold traffic on the ground elsewhere, not the airline's own. In the DOT data, a delayed domestic departure from EWR ran a little over an hour late on average over the last twelve months, and 3.44% of its scheduled flights were cancelled.

Carrier by carrier

Who flies PMI to EWR

United Airlines is the only carrier the DOT report shows on PMI to EWR, with 168 flights and an average of 189 passengers aboard each. A single-carrier route gives a delayed passenger no same-day alternative on the same ticket, which is worth knowing before booking a tight onward connection.

Across the year

How often PMI to EWR flies through the year

The DOT's international report puts 35 flights on the pair in June 2026, the busiest month of the window, and 0 in April 2026, the thinnest. A summer-to-winter swing of that size means the winter schedule is a different operation: fewer frequencies, so a cancellation leaves a longer wait for the next seat.

The arrival airport

Landing at Newark Liberty International

Newark Liberty International is scored on this site from the DOT's domestic data: 77.4% of its 122,267 domestic departures arrived on time over the last twelve months, with delayed flights running a little over an hour late, and 3.44% were cancelled. Those are domestic flights, not this route, but an arriving transatlantic flight shares the same runways, the same weather and the same ground delay programmes, so a bad day at EWR reaches a flight from PMI just as surely. The airport's own page has the hour-by-hour and month-by-month detail, and its live FAA status appears above when the FAA has something to say.

Your rights

EC 261/2004 on PMI to EWR

Every flight that departs Palma de Mallorca falls under Regulation (EC) 261/2004, whichever airline flies it and wherever it lands. If it arrives at Newark Liberty International three hours or more late, or is cancelled with under 14 days' notice, and the cause was within the airline's control, each passenger is owed €600 (€300 if the airline got you there under four hours late), on top of rebooking and care. Weather, air traffic control restrictions and strikes outside the airline are the usual exemptions. The return flight from EWR is covered only when the carrier is EU based. The sector is about 3,925 miles, 6,315 km, which puts it in the top distance band.

What to do with this

Booking PMI to EWR

There is no grade to give PMI to EWR without a route record, and this site does not invent one. What the three sources support: about two departures a week in each direction, a single carrier, a departure airport that gets 63% of its departures away on time and an arrival airport that runs 77% on time domestically. Leave two hours for any onward connection at EWR; immigration comes before the connecting flight.

Common questions

PMI to EWR questions

How often are PMI to EWR flights delayed?

No public dataset records delays for this route flight by flight: the US on-time database is domestic only and only the UK publishes route-level punctuality in Europe. The nearest measurements are the departure airport's EUROCONTROL punctuality (62.9% of departures within 15 minutes this year) and EWR's domestic record in the DOT data (77.4% on time).

Which airlines fly PMI to EWR?

United Airlines. United Airlines accounted for 100% of the 168 flights the DOT counted on the pair.

Can I claim compensation for a delayed PMI to EWR flight?

Yes, if the flight arrived three hours or more late or was cancelled at short notice for a reason within the airline's control: departures from Palma de Mallorca are covered by EC 261/2004 whichever airline operates them. The fixed amount for a sector of this length is €600 a passenger, €300 if the airline got you there under four hours late. The return from EWR is covered only on an EU carrier.

Spain publishes no route-level punctuality, so this page cannot grade the route. The UK pages in this section can, because the CAA does.
