Increases in revenues were registered by both the Company’s aviation and non-aviation segments. The global sum of Group revenues for 2015 was €66,965,843, up from €64,290,433 in 2014. Aviation revenues, which grew by 4% to €46.4 million, are largely attributable to the record number of guests travelling through the airport last year. With an increase of 5% to €20 million, the Company noted that it had once again achieved its target split of 30% of Group revenues for its non-aviation segment. SkyParks Business Centre was a key driver for non-aviation results, most notably since it has now reached its full retail and office potential. Contributions from the airport’s retail outlets, car park, and VIP product also led to growth in non-aviation revenues.

“The results today are not only positive and encouraging for Malta International Airport and its shareholders, but also for the country as a whole. Our positive financial performance puts us on the right track to realising our €78 million investment plan. This significant commitment includes a €40 million investment in enhancing our non-aviation segment further through the development of SkyParks 2, together with our €28million terminal expansion, scheduled to commence later on this year. We look forward to building on our successes to continue investing in both our product and our people,” said MIA CEO Alan Borg.

The Earnings before Interest, Taxation Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) of the Group increased from €33.8 million to €35.6 million.
