Malta International Airport registered a 2.4 per cent increase in traffic last month over September of the year before, hosting a total of 463,215 passengers.
“These figures are a great follow-up to the half a million passengers we hosted in August, the airport’s best month ever recorded. We are pleased to see the airport continue performing steadily,” said Markus Klaushofer, Chief Executive Officer at MIA.
The growth comes even as the Libyan airspace has been closed since mid-July.
Increased demand on the Paris route saw the French market registering the highest growth at 11.1 per cent.
The increase for January-September was 7.2 per cent over last year, with 3,385,808 passengers.
