QUOTE

The first month of January saw Italy continue to top Malta International Airport's market leaderboard, with 20.8 per cent of the 507,574 passenger movements registered throughout the first month of the year stemming from this market.

While the United Kingdom retained second place with a market share of 13.9 per cent, Poland once again overtook Germany to occupy third place for the third consecutive month, capturing 13.2 per cent of the market share. Poland's strong performance throughout the winter months was driven by increased capacity on Polish routes operated by both Ryanair and Wizz Air, as well as the extension of the Ryanair route to Katowice, launched in summer 2024, into the winter season.

Germany and Spain rounded out the airport's top five markets for the month with a 7.0 per cent and 6.0 per cent market share, respectively.

Total passenger movements in January increased by 9.0 per cent year-on-year. The highest traffic day fell towards the start of the month, as 165 schedule and charter flights carried over 27,000 passengers to and from Malta on January 4th, as the festive season drew to a close.

Despite a 9.3 per cent increase in the seat capacity deployed by airlines in January, the seat load factor was aligned with the seat occupancy rates registered in 2024, only dropping a marginal 0.2 percentage points to stand at 73.8 per cent.

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.
