Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera · RoRo ferry · express freight
Transvolando coordinates road and RoRo freight to the Balearic Islands: Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera. The Balearic archipelago is a tourism-led economy with heavy summer freight peaks. Goods arrive primarily by RoRo ferry from Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia. Palma de Mallorca is the main port and airport, and distribution across the four islands uses a mix of HGV, van and inter-island feeder services.
