Three new routes were launched in March at Malta International Airport with the summer season about to get underway.
Scandinavian Airlines made its return to Malta, launching direct flights to the Danish capital of Copenhagen, Universal Air has started operating flights to Debrecen, Hungary’s second-largest city, while easyJet has introduced a link between Malta and London Southend, providing an additional gateway to the United Kingdom.
In March, the UK retained its position as the airport’s second most popular market, accounting for 18.9% of a total of 725,134 passengers who travelled last month. This result placed the UK market just behind Italy, which continued to lead the market chart with a 19.6 per cent share. Poland, Germany, and Spain rounded out the top five markets for the month.
MIA noted that with 851,608 seats available on flights operated to and from Malta last month, seat capacity registered double-digit growth of 17.2% over 2024, while seat load factor registered a slight drop of 2.1% to stand at 85.1%.
