Malta International Airport plc - Quarterly Update & October Traffic Results

On 12 November 2025, Malta International Airport plc published the financial results for the first nine months of 2025. MIA also announced the traffic results for October.

Financial Performance: January to September 2025

Revenues during the first nine months of 2025 amounted to €118.5 million, which is 10% higher than the comparable figure of €107.8 million in 2024. The growth was driven by the 10.8% increase in passenger movements to 7.64 million during the period.

Operating costs excluding depreciation increased by 16.3% to €42.5 million. MIA explained that the demands of the airport’s busier operations were reflected in increases in both staff costs (+18.6%) and other operating expenses (+15.6%). As a result, EBITDA increased by 6.7% to €76.0 million compared to €71.2 million in the same period last year, but the EBITDA margin eased to 64.1% (3Q 2024: 66.1%).

The profit before tax increased by 4.6% to €63.9 million compared to €61.1 million in the first three quarters of 2024.

Overall, MIA generated a net profit for the period of €41.4 million compared to €39.5 million in the comparable period in 2024.

In terms of financial position as at 30 September 2025, when compared to 31 December 2024, total assets increased by 2.0% (or €7.3 million) to €377 million. Cash and other short-term investments amounted to €29.0 million, which fell from the €64.9 million reported on 31 December 2024 largely reflecting the ongoing capital expenditure within the airport campus. Total liabilities fell by 6.0% (or €9.4 million) to €148 million. Meanwhile, the airport operator remained free from any borrowings and the equity position strengthened by 7.9% (or €16.8 million) to €230 million.
