- Malta International Airport plc published February’s traffic results, whereby an all-time-low dip was recorded since the airport’s reopening to commercial flights in July 2020.
- Totalling just 27,524 passenger movements, February traffic registered a drop of 93.5% over the same month in 2020.
- From among the airport’s top 10 markets, the United Kingdom registered the largest drop in passenger numbers as a ban restricting travel between the two countries remained in place.
- Last February marked a year since MIA first reported the early effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, manifested in declining seat load factors (SLF) – particularly on Italian routes – as the demand for air travel started to wane towards the end of the month.
- With consumer confidence and air travel demand remaining particularly low, seat capacity deployed by airlines in February 2021 was at just 10% of February 2020 levels.
- Standing at 52.5%, last month’s seat load factor showed that only just over half the seats available on flights to and from Malta were occupied throughout the month.
