Following last week's article detailing the performance of the S&P 500 index in 2025, it is worth devoting time to review the developments across the European equity markers in my last article of the year.

On 15 April 2025, Malta International Airport plc announced that passenger movements in March 2025 amounted to 725,134 which is the highest-ever figure achieved in the month of March, exceeding the previous record of March 2024 by 14.4%.

MIA also recorded a 17.2% increase in seat capacity when compared to last year. In view of the much higher capacity, the seat load factor for March 2025 eased to 85.1% compared to 87.2% in March 2024.

The airport operator explained that Italy (market share of 19.6%), the UK (market share of 18.9%), Poland, Germany, and Spain were the top five markets during March 2025.

MIA also noted that three new routes were launched in March, paving the way for enhanced connectivity ahead of the summer months, namely Scandinavian Airlines to Copenhagen (Denmark), Universal Air to Debrecen (Hungary) and easyJet to London Southend (UK).

In the first three months of the year, MIA welcomed a total of 1,793,261 passengers, exceeding last year’s record for Q1 2024 by 14.0%.
