COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT

Malta International Airport plc (the "Company")

July Traffic Results

Date of Announcement 10 August 2021 Reference 354/2021 In terms of Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules

QUOTE

Last month's traffic through Malta International Airport totalled 311,692 passenger movements, recouping 39 per cent of July 2019 traffic levels.

This shows that Malta is recovering at a slower pace than its Southern European counterparts whose recovery rate for July averaged at 57 per cent according to Airports Council International data.

Seat capacity deployed on routes to and from Malta was just 35.5 per cent below 2019 levels, with the seat load factor (SLF) for the month, which measures the occupancy of the seats available, standing at 52.6 per cent compared to 87.0 per cent in July 2019.

Throughout the month, travel opportunities for the local market continued to increase as French flag-carrier Air France launched three weekly flights to Paris Charles de Gaulle airport and two brand-new routes to Chania and Cagliari were added to Malta International Airport's summer schedule, among other traffic developments.

July also saw the return of the United Kingdom among Malta International Airport's top five markets following the easing of travel restrictions between the two countries and the subsequent increase in flight frequencies on several UK routes as well as the introduction of additional routes by a number of airlines.

The United Kingdom moved up four places from June, displacing Spain from the market leaderboard and pushing each one of the German, French and Polish markets down one position compared to June. Italy, on the other hand, retained its top spot with 60,388 passenger movements.

An industry assessment issued by Eurocontrol on 22 July noted that European traffic was clearly on the increase in the 10 weeks leading to the publication of this report, with domestic travel still dominating passenger traffic.

About Malta International Airport

Malta International Airport connects the Maltese archipelago to over 100 destinations in more than 30 countries. The Company has consistently invested in the terminal since the airport's privatisation in 2002, with the Terminal Reconfiguration Project 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, such as the Terminal Expansion Project, set to bring about further expansion. The airport team is guided by a vision of service excellence, which led MIA to clinch the title Best Airport in Europe for two consecutive years. To maximise its contribution to Malta's cultural heritage and environment, MIA set up the Malta Airport Foundation in 2014: an independently run non-profit organisation.
