Over Half A Million Airport Movements In November 2023

Dec 12 2023

In November, Malta International Airport experienced a notable surge in passenger movements, recording 528,923 travellers, marking a substantial 7.2% rise compared to the figures observed in 2019.

The zenith of November’s air traffic occurred during the mid-term school holidays, where a remarkable 25,000 passengers transited through the airport in a single day.

This upswing was underscored by robust demand, reflecting in a commendable seat load factor (SLF) of nearly 85%, surpassing the 2019 levels by 6.8%. Italy, the United Kingdom, and Germany maintained their dominance on the airport’s market leaderboard.

Conversely, France ceded its position to Poland, marking a resurgent presence among the top five contributors to passenger traffic after a seven-month hiatus.

The Polish market demonstrated significant traction, with 92% of available seats on flights between seven Polish destinations and Malta being occupied, signifying a robust demand for travel to this region.

This heightened SLF, coupled with increased flight frequency, propelled a remarkable 120% surge in passenger traffic between Malta and Poland compared to 2019.

Despite Germany’s traffic not fully recovering to 2019 levels, its November SLF of 90% indicated a strong resurgence in demand for air travel.
