On its top markets, they also said the following:
“Being [the airport’s] most connected market through flights to 20 airports, Italy showed no signs of ceding the top spot to the United Kingdom, which was the second most popular market for the month.”
“The French market continued to perform exceptionally well, registering growth of 52 per cent over 2019 and outperforming Germany to rank third.”
“Five airlines currently connect Malta International Airport to 10 French airports, contributing to this market’s increasing popularity.”
“Passenger traffic from Spain grew by a marginal 1.2 per cent compared to pre-pandemic levels, with this market retaining the same position it has held since May 2023.”
