The most recent statistics from the airport states that the number of passengers increased by a significant 22.7% over the previous year 2023, with a high observed on January 6, according to EU Helpers.

23,923 passengers were carried to and from the airport by 151 planes on this busy day, which signaled the end of the hectic holiday travel period.

Additional MIA data reveals that Malta International Airport had an interesting shift in the dynamics of passenger flow in January 2024. Italy took the lead as a result, increasing by 24% over the previous year. The following other nations also made contributions to this growth:

United Kingdom (plus 23%)
Poland (plus 59%).
Germany (+30%)
France (20%)
With consistent growth over the previous few years, the Polish market stood out as the top performer. In January 2024, Poland surpassed Germany, Spain, and France to take the third spot as the largest market at Malta International Airport.

During the winter season, Wizz Air and Ryanair increased their flight frequencies to Polish locations, which contributed to a 59% year-over-year rise in passenger movements. Last month, almost 10% of passenger movements were made to Polish destinations.

The Airports Council International (ACI) report for 2023 indicates that Malta International Airport has solidified its standing as one of Europe's top performers.

Malta, surpassing its peers in Spain and Italy, achieved fourth position in the EU+ region with a remarkable 6.7% increase in traffic in 2019. In the section, the top two slots went to Portugal (+12.2%) and Greece (+12.1%), with Iceland taking third place with a 6.9% gain.
