Malta International Airport said today that traffic for the first four months of the financial year increased at a higher rate than anticipated and the prospects for the rest of the year look good.

“Consequently the results for the first six months of the financial year are expected to be better than projected figures and significantly better than the results for the corresponding period last year,” the company said in an interim directors’ statement.

MIA said earlier this month that it registered an increase of 109,219 passenger movements (+16 per cent) during the first four months of 2008 and an increase of 503 aircraft movements (+7.2 per cent) on its scheduled and non-scheduled traffic.
