Malta International Airport secures financing for expansion programme
According to the airport, the funding consists of two separate loans valued at €50 million each, with repayment terms of five and seven years, respectively.
Malta International Airport stated that the financing will support the delivery of large-scale infrastructure developments while helping maintain overall financial stability and operational liquidity.
Alan Borg said the agreement reflects confidence in the airport’s long-term vision and its role within Malta’s tourism industry.
The airport is currently progressing its East Expansion project, which forms the centrepiece of a wider €345 million investment programme.
The development will expand terminal facilities across a gross floor area of 26,000 square metres by 2028.
Plans include the addition of 32 new check-in desks, five departure gates, a new crew gate, expanded baggage sorting facilities and additional commercial and circulation areas.
According to the airport, enabling and mobilisation works have already progressed on schedule, including excavation works, rerouting of building services and the creation of new access routes.
In parallel with the terminal expansion, work is continuing on the SkyParks 2 development project.
Malta International Airport confirmed that the hotel building within the development is expected to be handed over to its operator during the final quarter of 2026 in shell form.
Earlier this year, the airport announced that the four-star hotel would operate under Accor’s Tribe brand through Claret Group.
The airport also highlighted broader investment activity completed during 2025, when capital expenditure reached €61.6 million.
According to the company, almost 40 per cent of annual revenue was reinvested into projects focused on operational resilience, infrastructure modernisation and improvements to the passenger experience.
