Earlier today, Malta International Airport p.l.c. held its 33rd Annual General Meeting, which was attended by the company's chairman and board of directors, members of the management team, and shareholders.

In his opening address, Chairman Nikolaus Gretzmacher described 2024 as a remarkable year marked by strong traffic growth. Mr Gretzmacher added that the company's purpose goes beyond impressive figures, emphasising that continued investment in Malta International Airport for an improved guest experience remains a priority. Mr. Gretzmacher thanked shareholders for their confidence in the company, reaffirming the team's commitment to achieving the 2025 forecast of 9.3 million passenger movements and a net profit of €48 million.

In his in-depth review of 2024, Chief Executive Officer Alan Borg gave a more detailed understanding of the company's traffic results, particularly the growth that was experienced in the off-peak months. When presenting the financial results, Mr Borg highlighted that, with a net profit of €46.3 million, 2024 was the company's most profitable year to date. €24.4 million were returned to shareholders in the highest dividend pay-out on record.

Additionally, Mr Borg presented an update on the company's key investments. The completion of several large-scale projects between 2024 and 2025 will allow the focus to shift to the Eastward Expansion, which is at the core of a €345 million investment plan for the next five years. Preparations for the official launch of this ambitious investment are progressing steadily, with the company expected to announce its commencement soon.

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.
