Electrical Infrastructure Upgrade Necessitates Two Power Shutdowns at Malta International Airport

  • Shutdowns are planned for January 11th-12th and 15th
  • Operations and flights are not expected to be affected
  • Outages will allow for the modernisation of electrical infrastructure

Malta International Airport would like to inform the public of two power shutdowns planned for the coming week. The first shutdown will take place between 11:00pm of January 11th and 04:00am of January 12th, while the second shutdown will take place on January 15th between midnight and 03:00am.

The planned outages will enable Malta International Airport to safely conduct works as part of an electrical infrastructure upgrade and ensure the successful completion of this important modernisation exercise.

The company’s investment in more modern electrical infrastructure will contribute to enhanced levels of safety as well as a more reliable electricity supply, whilst simultaneously increasing capacity for future growth.

The shutdowns will take place during periods that were identified as the airport’s quietest times. Whilst the shutdowns are not expected to impact airport guests, Malta International Airport would like to inform the public that most of the terminal and car park lighting will be affected.

Additionally, some of the lifts and escalators around the terminal will be out of order, while certain services will not be available during the outages.

Whilst these shutdowns are not expected to impact flights, Malta International Airport would like to apologise for any inconvenience airport guests may encounter as a result of these works.
