Full-Year Traffic Update
Date of Announcement 14 January 2026 Reference 461/2026
In terms of Chapter 5 of the Capital Market Rules
Passenger traffic through Malta International Airport totalled 709,352 movements in December, representing a 19.9% increase compared to December 2024. This figure brought full-year traffic for 2025 up to 10,061,969* passenger movements, marking a 12.3% increase over the previous year. Additionally, while seat capacity increased by just over 13% year-on-year, the average seat load factor for the year remained largely unchanged at 85.4%. Aircraft movements also increased by 11.4% to total 65,470 movements.
The United Kingdom, Italy, Poland, Germany and France emerged as Malta International Airport's top five markets in 2025. While Italy and France were the only two markets to register a decline in passenger traffic compared to 2024, the remaining markets all recorded growth. Poland emerged as the airport's fastest-growing market, registering 48.9% year-on-year growth and capturing a market share of almost 9%. This performance was supported by LOT Polish Airlines' return with four weekly services to Warsaw, the introduction of bi-weekly flights to Rzeszów by Ryanair, and increased frequency on Wizz Air route to Warsaw.

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. 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%).
