Malta International Airport, has said that over this festive weekend the busiest day of the month is expected to be on Monday, the 27th, when the highest volume of passenger traffic will be travelling through the airport.

The Airport is advising that in the days leading up to their departure, passengers are advised to familiarise themselves with the travel restrictions at their destination by visiting www.maltairport.com/covid19/departure and to prepare any health documentation which is required for entry into the country.

Given that all documents must be vetted at the check-in counters before proceeding to the security screening area, it is recommended that passengers arrive at the airport at least 2.5 hours prior to their flight’s scheduled time of departure, the Airport said.

Passengers looking to ”breeze” through the airport’s security checkpoint are reminded to avoid carrying any liquids exceeding 100ml carried inside their hand luggage, as these may be confiscated, as well as to avoid gift wrapping goodies which may be opened and screened by security officials.

Passengers can get their Christmas gifts, and any other last-minute purchases made at the airport’s outlets, wrapped for free at the gift-wrapping station just outside the DUFRY outlet.

Local artists will also be performing at Hard Rock Café and Relish every day of the week excluding Tuesdays and Thursdays until the 31st, while a Polaroid photographer will be roaming the area to capture special airport moments, it said.

Once travellers arrive safely at their destination, they are invited to participate in Malta International Airport’s Secret Passenger Programme, which offers travelling guests a platform where they can rate their airport experience and provide feedback or suggestions for further improvement.

The airport is also offering all visitors two hours of free parking at the main car park.

Whilst urging all visiting and travelling guests to comply with the Covid-19 guidelines throughout their airport journey, Malta International Airport would like to wish one and all a safe festive season filled with cheer and delight.
