Date of Announcement 15 April 2025 Reference 424/2025 In terms of Chapter 5 of the Capital Market Rules
Malta International Airport rounded off the winter season with the launch of three new routes in March, paving the way for enhanced connectivity ahead of the summer months.
Scandinavian Airlines has made its return to Malta, launching direct flights to the Danish capital of Copenhagen, opening up more seamless travel options to Scandinavia. Adding to the airport's expanding Eastern European network, Universal Air has started operating flights to Debrecen, Hungary's second-largest city, while easyJet has introduced a link between Malta and London Southend, providing an additional gateway to the United Kingdom.
In March, the United Kingdom retained its position as the airport's second most popular market, accounting for 18.9% of a total of 725,134 passengers who travelled last month. This result placed the UK market just behind Italy, which continued to lead the market chart with a 19.6% share. Poland, Germany, and Spain rounded out the top five markets for the month.
With 851,608 seats available on flights operated to and from Malta last month, seat capacity registered double-digit growth of 17.2% over 2024, while seat load factor registered a slight drop of 2.1% to stand at 85.1%.

Malta International Airport welcomed 8.96 million passengers in 2024, registering growth of almost 15% over the previous year. A flight schedule that connected the Maltese Islands to 109 destinations was in part the driver of this result.
The Company continued to invest in the airport campus throughout the year, with one of the most significant achievements being the inauguration of four new aircraft parking stands as part of the Apron 8 South project. New CT scanners at the Security Screening Area and the addition of a new baggage reclaim belt were two other noteworthy investments for 2024 that have contributed to an improved airport experience. The year 2024 was significant in terms of achievements related to sustainability. The Company published its first Net Zero Carbon Plan and satisfied all criteria to be able to progress to Level 3 of the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme.
The Company also kick-started works on a new €4 million photovoltaic farm in the last quarter of the year. A decade of the Malta Airport Foundation, an independently administered non-profit organisation, was celebrated in 2024. The Foundation has been instrumental in supporting different entities in preserving and promoting the Maltese Islands' cultural, artistic and environmental heritage. 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%).
