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.
