Malta International Airport has introduced new security screening equipment in line with EU regulations.

As from September 1, passengers could have their hand luggage and electronic devices (laptops, tablets and mobile phones) checked for traces of explosive material using the new specialized detection technology.

“Safety and security are always our top priorities. Ongoing structural works at the central security screening area as well as the new equipment are intended to make sure this procedure meets the new regulatory demands set out by the EU, said MIA Head of Security Patrick Murgo.

This year alone, Malta International Airport is investing over €500,000 in security equipment and infrastructure including explosive trace detection machines, no-return gates and central screening area improvements. The airport has also given additional training to its employees.
