Malta International Airport has the third most international connections among 136 airports in its class, with over 50 destinations served in its winter schedule.

This result was established following an in-depth study of all airports’ schedule analysis this month from CAPA Centre for Aviation.

“We are incredibly proud of this achievement, which shows that the hard work, in collaboration with the Ministry for Tourism and the MTA, is reaping results. Our strategy is to keep forging relationships with potential operators to welcome new routes and keep making Malta more accessible,” interim CEO Alan Borg said.

Last year, the airport saw an increase of 6.4 per cent in passenger traffic from 2013, hosting just over four million passengers by the end of the year.

“We will keep working on expanding our brand and increasing our destination network. We are looking forward to welcoming a few new airlines and routes this year, including Aegean Air to Athens, Finnair to Helsinki, Swiss to Zurich, and Jet2.com to several UK destinations,” Mr Borg said.

Malta International Airport is third among the Airport Council International’s European community of airports hosting less than five million passengers per year. It is preceded by Fuerte-ventura Airport (Canary Islands) and Belgrade (Serbia).
