Malta International Airport has said that passenger traffic for the month of April has increased by 50% since 2015, with 591,283 passenger movements during last month.

There was also an increase of 18.8 per cent and 18.5 per cent respectively aircraft movements and seat capacity during April.

The United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, France, and Spain accounted for over 400,000 passenger movements.

MIA said that these markets all registered growth, with Spain’s 39.7 per cent increase being the strongest by far from these top five markets.

The Spanish market was largely driven by MIA’s launch of three new Spanish routes; Bilbao, Malaga, and Seville, and the introduction of a better flight frequency on the Barcelona route, the airport said.
