Malta International Airport plc reported traffic results for the month and six months ended June 2016. The first six months alone already saw an additional 195,574 passenger movements compared to the same period last year, an increase of 9.8%. Seat load factor reached 80% while seat capacity grew by 7.4%.

In the month of June the company registered an increase of 6.8% in passenger movements, continuing with the positive trends observed during the first five months of the year. This growth was stimulated by an increase in seat capacity and airlines' increased efficiency in filling up these available seats.

The company is expecting 4.97 million passengers to pass through the airport by the end of the year, according to its revised mid-year projections.
