Impact verdict
Low impact. Loss pathway: potential property damage to the airport-adjacent Mercapalma logistics and warehousing precinct, possible contingent business interruption for airport tenants and airlines, and a minor casualty exposure for responders. Damage scope remains unquantified, no insured loss figure has been reported, and on current evidence there is no credible route to a USD 100m+ industry loss.
