MLA Predicts Almost 5 Million Pax by End 2016
This would surpass all traffic records achieved so far
Malta International Airport is expecting 4.97 million passengers to pass through the airport by the end of the year, according to its revised mid-year projections.
The first six months of this year alone already saw an additional 195,574 passenger movements compared to the same period last year, an increase of 9.8 per cent.
June alone registered an increase of 6.8% in passenger movements, continuing with the positive trends observed during the first five months of the year.
This growth was stimulated by an increase in seat capacity and airlines’ increased efficiency in filling up these available seats. In fact, seat load factor (SLF) for the period between January and June reached 80 per cent, while seat capacity grew by 7.4%.
