Reference 304/2019

In terms of Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules

QUOTE

In May, more than 670,000 passengers shuttled between Malta International Airport and one of the destinations connected to the air terminal. This translates into a growth of 4.8 per cent in passenger traffic on the same month last year.

This increase in passenger movements was observed in line with a 4.2 per cent increase in aircraft movements stemming from a summer schedule offering improved connectivity. While seat capacity grew by 5.3 per cent, airlines operating from Malta International Airport were successful in maintaining a healthy seat load factor (SLF) of 80.2 per cent for the month of May.

The top contributors to passenger traffic through Malta International Airport were the United Kingdom (+1.1 per cent), Italy (+4.1 per cent), Germany (+0.3 per cent), France (+4.3 per cent) and Spain (+15.3 per cent), all of which registered varying levels of growth.

The airport's two biggest markets are being served by a total of six new routes this summer, these being Exeter, Cardiff, Perugia, Lamezia, Verona and Genoa. While the first four routes were launched in April, the first flights from Verona and Genoa were welcomed earlier this week.

May results have brought year-to-date traffic up to 2.5 million passenger movements.

About Malta International Airport

Malta International Airport connects the Maltese archipelago to over 100 destinations in more than 30 countries. Being Malta's only air terminal, the airport hosts more than six million passengers annually, of which the majority are inbound tourists. To be able to cater for an ever-increasing number of passengers, the company has consistently invested in the terminal since the airport's privatisation in 2002, with the Terminal Reconfiguration Project set to be completed in 2018 bringing about the most recent overhaul. The airport campus itself has grown to provide over 1,500 parking spaces, and 14,000m² of office and retail space housed within SkyParks Business Centre, with projects in the offing set to bring about further expansion. The airport team is guided by a vision of service excellence, which has landed MIA among the top five airports in ACI's prestigious Airport Service Quality Awards for the past nine years. To maximise its contribution to Malta's cultural heritage and environment, MIA set up the Malta Airport Foundation, an independently run non-profit organisation, which will be unveiling three projects in 2018.

Malta International Airport plc is a public company listed on the Malta Stock Exchange, with its shareholders being the Malta Mediterranean Link Consortium (40%), with Flughafen Wien AG owning a 96% share, the Government of Malta (20%), the general public (29.9%), and VIE Malta Limited (10.1%).
