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 13 June 2025, Malta International Airport plc announced that passenger movements during May 2025 amounted to 927,709, which is 8.1% higher than the comparable figure of 858,402 registered last year. This was the first time that passenger movements surpassed the 900,000 level in the month of May.

The seat load factor for May 2025 stood at 84.9%, which is 1 percentage point lower than in May 2024. MIA stated that the route network for summer continued to expand with the launch of direct flights to Stuttgart and Helsinki.

MIA highlighted that for the second consecutive month, the United Kingdom was the most popular destination with a market share of 22.4%, followed by Italy, Germany, Poland, and France. Furthermore, MIA noted that Poland was the largest growing market registering an increase of 35.8% over last year’s levels. This growth was largely driven by increased flight frequencies on the Warsaw route, together with the start of operations of a new airline.

The passenger movements during the five-month period ended May 2025 amounted to 3.62 million, representing an increase of 12.8% over the corresponding period last year.
