COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT
Malta International Airport plc (the "Company")
Date of Announcement 13 March 2020
Reference 321/2020
In terms of Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules
Given the Covid-19 pandemic and travel bans announced recently, Malta International Airport would like to reassure its shareholders that the Company is taking all measures within its control so as to be able to mitigate the inevitable negative impacts of this unprecedented situation.
The Company's topmost priority remains the safety and wellbeing of airport users, people working on the airport campus, and the wider local community. To this end, the Company has been working closely with the local health authorities and following their recommendations in an effort to contain the spread of this outbreak.
The Company has been monitoring the situation closely since the first Covid-19 case was reported in Europe, running multiple scenarios and putting in place several measures geared at ensuring business continuity at this sensitive time.
In light of the fluidity of the current situation, Malta International Airport envisages to issue revised and updated traffic forecasts and financial guidance once the situation normalizes and more certainty and stability are restored.
Signed:
Louis de Gabriele Company Secretary
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%).
