The action would have affected check-in, baggage handling and ramp services for airlines including TUI, Condor, Etihad and TAP Air Portugal.
Airlines that do not use Swissport at Palma, such as Ryanair, EasyJet and Jet2, were largely unaffected by the dispute.
Official notices from Palma Airport Information confirm there are no active strike actions disrupting flights at the airport.
Travellers should still arrive at least two hours before short-haul flights and three hours before long-haul flights to clear standard seasonal congestion.,
