September Traffic Results

Date of Announcement 6 October 2021 Reference 356/2021 In terms of Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules

QUOTE

Malta International Airport recorded its strongest month in terms of passenger volumes since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, welcoming a total of 418,473 passengers in September. While the summer holiday season typically reaches its peak in August, the traffic results achieved by the airport in September surpassed the numbers recorded in the preceding month, with September outperforming August for the first time since 1999.

Despite the uptick in airport activity, passenger traffic nearly halved in September compared with pre-pandemic volumes, as the airport reported a 45.1% drop in passenger movements from the same month in 2019. Seat-occupancy levels also remained below pre-pandemic levels, as airlines carried passengers to and from the airport at an average seat load factor of just over 70%.

The United Kingdom retained its spot as Malta International Airport's top driver of passenger traffic as it continues its path of recovery, with over 108,000 passengers departing or arriving from this destination in September and the further easing of travel restrictions by the UK government in October auguring well for the coming months. Following behind on the market leader board for September were the Italian, German, French and Spanish markets.

Malta International Airport has also published its flight schedule for the upcoming season, which is now available on the airport website. The winter schedule features new flight connections, adding services to unserved markets including Croatia, North Macedonia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as a number of route extensions from summer into winter.

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.
