‘Now Is Not The Time For Reckless Self-Interest’: Casa To Scicluna

'Now Is Not The Time For Reckless Self-Interest': Casa To Scicluna
May 15 2024 Share

In an action outside the Central Bank of Malta, MEP David Casa re-iterated his appeal to the embattled Governor of the Central Bank Edward Scicluna to do the right thing and resign his post for the good of the country.

“Haven’t you pigged out enough?” the streamer read, with wording lifted from the communications of former Labour MP who spoke about “pigging out”. Casa reminded that in his former capacity as Finance Minister, Scicluna had raised the annual remuneration for Central Bank Governor prior to his bid for the same position.

David Casa, who has worked on the Committee for Economic and Monetary Affairs, emphasised the reputational damage that Scicluna was incurring to the country for no other reason than blind self-interest.

“To have a Central Bank Governor accused of fraud is ridiculous and flies in the face of the unwavering efforts of the hundreds of professionals who are upholding a world-class industry despite the corrupt buffoons who lead them,” Casa charged, adding that “Nobody is subscribing to Robert Abela’s cuckoo-land account of what the country is going through.”

“A week since criminal charges were filed against Scicluna, I echo the nation’s appeal even more strongly: RESIGN.”

Malta International Airport announced an adjustment to its 2024 traffic forecast and financial guidance, projecting 8.45 million passengers by year-end, an increase of approximately 650,000 passengers from 2023.

Building on record results from 2023, the airport reported a strong first quarter in 2024, with expectations of steady growth throughout the year. In April, Malta International Airport welcomed 774,562 passengers, marking a 9.3% growth in traffic volumes compared to the same period in 2023, alongside a 9.6% increase in aircraft movements.

Although seat capacity increased by 10.5% over 2023, the average seat occupancy on flights slightly decreased to 83.8%.

April’s top markets were Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Poland. The United Kingdom (+23.9%), Germany (+4.5%), and Poland (+47.0%) outperformed their 2023 results, while the Italian and French markets saw year-on-year declines of 2.8% and 3.8%, respectively.

Given the strong performance to date and a positive outlook for the remainder of 2024, Malta International Airport has revised its financial projections. The airport now expects revenues to total €132 million and a net profit of €44 million.
