February traffic +9.3%

Best ever February

Malta International Airport this year registered the best ever figures for February when it welcomed a total of 193,225 passengers. This figure is an increase of 9.3% from last year, breaking all previous records for such period

February’s figures were due to an added capacity of 7% and a consistent seat load factor, which went up by 1.5 percentage points to reach overall 72.5% for the month.

Traffic from the UK grew consistently by 7.6 per cent, mirroring previous month’s results. Italy once again remains the second biggest market registering the highest growth, for the month, of 17.4% proving the popularity of the Northern routes.

Aircraft movements for the month increased by 7.8 per cent. This was reflected in the increase of 7 per cent in seat capacity which reached 266,678, when compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.
