8.96 Million Passengers Welcomed By Malta Airport Last Year

Malta International Airport recorded 560,553 passengers in February 2025, marking an 18.2% increase over the same period in 2024.

This growth aligned with a 22.8% rise in aircraft movements and a 21.1% increase in seat capacity, with the seat load factor reaching 80.5%.

Italy remained the top market for passenger traffic (19.2% share), followed by the UK (18.3%), Poland (11.4%), Germany (7.1%), and Spain (6.2%).

In 2024, the airport welcomed 8.96 million passengers, a 15% increase over the previous year. This was supported by 109 flight connections and major infrastructure projects, including four new aircraft parking stands under the Apron 8 South project, new CT scanners, and an additional baggage reclaim belt.

The airport’s service excellence was recognised by Airports Council International, earning it the ‘Best Airport’ award and Level 4 of the Airport Customer Experience Accreditation.

Sustainability efforts advanced with the publication of the Net Zero Carbon Plan, promotion to Level 3 of the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme, and the launch of a €4 million photovoltaic farm.

The Malta Airport Foundation celebrated its 10th anniversary, continuing its work in cultural and environmental preservation.
