Malta International Airport has invested in a modern fleet of 240 luggage trolleys to upgrade its current set of 200.

“In order to make the investment cost effective – as is becoming increasingly common in many European airports – passengers will now have to pay €2 and will be refunded €1,” MIA said.

“Unlike with the old trolleys, people can also pay for the use of the trolley with 5 or 10 euro notes and receive change. Those travelling from the UK (MIA’s biggest market) can pay in sterling and will receive change in euro,” the airport said.

The Airport added, “the trolleys are made of light aluminium so besides being more attractive, they are also easier to manoeuvre and less prone to rust. The trolleys will be placed at 10 conveniently located points around the terminal and car park, supported by an automatic system that helps the airport track the availability of trolleys in each bay. This ensures the bays are always replenished.”

MIA concluded by saying that the new service is being introduced today and all the old trolleys will be replaced by end of day.
