Traffic at the airport hit a record high in January with over 169,000 passenger movements, an increase of almost 15 per cent, Malta International Airport said.
The rise in passenger movements was brought about by a record seat capacity in January, hitting 282,574 seats, an increase of 10.7 per cent over January 2010.
The average seat load factor rose by two per cent to 60 per cent over January last year and aircraft movements went up by 11.5 per cent.
