Date of Announcement 13 June 2025 Reference 428/2025 In terms of Chapter 5 of the Capital Market Rules
Malta International Airport has further expanded its route network for the summer with the launch of direct flights to Stuttgart and Helsinki.
While Stuttgart is a brand-new route for Malta International Airport, last week's inaugural flight from Helsinki marked the re-establishment of this Finnish connection after a six-year hiatus. Now operated by Norwegian, the Helsinki route has continued to strengthen Malta's connectivity with the strategic Scandinavian market.
The two route launches come on the back of a bustling May, during which Malta International Airport welcomed 927,709 passengers, marking an 8.1% increase over 2024. The airport also recorded a strong seat load factor of 84.9%, reflecting sustained demand for travel to and from the island.
For the second month running, the United Kingdom topped the market leaderboard with a share of 22.4%, followed by Italy, Germany, Poland and France. Registering an increase of 35.8% in traffic, Poland was the fastest-growing market compared to the previous year. This growth was largely driven by increased flight frequencies on the Warsaw route, together with the start of operations of a new airline.

About Malta International Airport
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.
