Malta International Airport is set to receive a brand-new 6,000-square-metre air terminal, as announced at a special conference event at the airport earlier this week.
The site transformation, which will see a new terminal built by 2028, is being carried out via a combination of private investments that are being both supported and sustained by the Government.
The event was attended by Prime Minister Robert Abela, who noted that the new initiative aligns closely with Malta Vision 2050, the long-term national framework which is set to be officially launched in the coming weeks, following months of nationwide consultation.
Prioritising aviation and tourism; the Malta Vision 2050 initiative aims to also highlight the importance of investment in strategic infrastructure, stronger international connectivity, environmental responsibility and a higher quality of life for future generations.
The Prime Minister said:After inaugurating the Priority Guest Terminal last summer, today we are going into the details of another investment of very great importance, the East Expansion. This project reflects what we can achieve when public institutions and private enterprise work together.
For Malta, our airport is more than a gateway, it is a vital engine of growth, tourism, trade, and international engagement. It is often the first and last impression visitors take with them, and it plays a central role in how we present ourselves to the world.
At the end of the conference event; the Prime Minister reiterated the Goverment’s ongoing commitment to continue supporting initiatives to both strengthen connectivity and attract investment.
