Malta International Airport registers over 4 million passenger movements in first half of 2024

Malta International Airport welcomed 4.1 million passengers in its best-performing first half to date, as passenger movements in the first six months of 2024 registered a year-on-year increase of 18.4%. March was the fastest-growing month for this period, surpassing 2023 levels by 30 per cent, followed by February (+25 per cent) and January (+23 per cent).

The company’s strong mid-year results led Malta International Airport to outperform Southern European peers including Italy, Greece and Spain.

On the back of this exceptional growth in passenger traffic, the company reported increased income from both its aviation and non-aviation segments, with revenue for the first half of the year totalling €66.4 million and a net profit of €22.1 million.

“Following an excellent performance across all facets of our operation, we are entering the second half of 2024 in a solid financial position; one which has enabled our company to distribute its highest interim dividend to date to shareholders and continue to invest in the development of Malta International Airport,” said Chief Executive Officer Alan Borg.
