COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT

Malta International Airport plc (the "Company")

August Traffic Results

Date of Announcement 10 September 2021 Reference 355/2021 In terms of Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules

QUOTE

407,435 passengers travelled through Malta International Airport in August, with this total being roughly equivalent to 50 per cent of the traffic handled in August 2019.

Last August's traffic result was influenced by the solid performance of markets such as France and Poland as the summer holiday season reached its peak. Seat load factors (SLF) for August on a number of routes between Malta International Airport and these two markets were particularly encouraging, having surpassed the 80 per cent mark.

Looking at the overall picture for the month shows that every flight operated from Malta International Airport carried an average of 111 passengers on board, which is 28 per cent lower than the average for August 2019 of 155 passengers.

August saw the resilient UK market continue to recover at a faster-than-envisaged pace. With a total of 99,881 passenger movements registered, the United Kingdom outperformed Italy and regained the top spot after having last ranked first in April 2020.

Although August's traffic results surpassed initial expectations, the travel industry remains in the shadow of changing entry requirements, uncertainty, and short-term planning, as the aviation winter season looms on the horizon. Malta International Airport is currently working with partner airlines towards finalising a flight schedule for the upcoming season.

About Malta International Airport

Malta International Airport connects the Maltese archipelago to over 100 destinations in more than 30 countries. The Company has consistently invested in the terminal since the airport's privatisation in 2002, with the Terminal Reconfiguration Project bringing about the most recent overhaul. The airport campus itself has grown to provide over 1,500 parking spaces, and 14,000m² of office and retail space housed within SkyParks Business Centre, with projects in the offing, such as the Terminal Expansion Project, set to bring about further expansion. The airport team is guided by a vision of service excellence, which led MIA to clinch the title Best Airport in Europe for two consecutive years. To maximise its contribution to Malta's cultural heritage and environment, MIA set up the Malta Airport Foundation in 2014: an independently run non-profit organisation.

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%).
