Marking a 15.0 per cent increase over the same comparable period last year, the strong year-to-date performance has already confirmed 2024 to be the airport's best performing year to date.

In November, 630,637 passengers travelled through the airport, translating into a double-digit growth of 19.2 per cent over the same month in 2023. Traffic peaked towards the beginning of the month, with 26,936 passenger movements being registered on Saturday 2nd November, the month's busiest day.

This growth in passenger numbers in November was experienced in parallel with an upturn of 19.8 per cent in aircraft movements and an increase of 18.3 per cent in seat capacity over the same month in 2023. Seat load factor (SLF) also gained 0.7 percentage points over last year, to stand at 85.6 per cent.

The top contributor to November's traffic was Italy (+9.6 per cent over 2023) with a market share of 20.0 per cent, followed by the United Kingdom (+16.7 per cent). The most significant growth within the airport's top markets, however, was observed in the Polish market (+56.0 per cent).

About Malta International Airport

As Malta's sole air terminal, Malta International Airport connects the Maltese archipelago to over 100 destinations. In 2023, the airport welcomed 7.8 million passengers, marking a growth of 6.7% in passenger traffic over 2019.

The airport team is guided by a vision of service excellence, which has led MLA to clinch the title 'Best Airport in Europe' for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

The company announced a five-year investment programme totalling €250 million in 2023, aimed at enhancing the airport's infrastructure and ensuring that Malta International Airport can seamlessly handle increasing volumes of passengers, whilst reaching its environmental targets and continuing to develop the airport campus.

Apart from these notable investments into the airport's infrastructure, Malta International Airport also invests into the Maltese Islands' cultural heritage and environment through the Malta Airport Foundation which will be celebrating its 10th year anniversary this year.
