Geocache Description:


Malta International Airport



Malta International Airport has been open for commercial traffic for over 50 years. The present air terminal building was constructed during the period 1989/91 and was officially opened on the 7th February 1992. The cost of the terminal was funded partly by Government equity and partly by bank borrowings from the European Investment Bank and Maltese commercial banks. The building has been designed to handle 5 million passengers annually and is equipped with the facilities expected of a modern international air terminal.

The terminal complex comprises of split level Departure and Arrival Halls at either side of the main building with spacious Check-In, Baggage Reclaim and Welcomers' Halls, cafeterias, restaurants, tax free shops for non-EU destinations and other retail outlets, offices, stores and other service areas. For the business travelers, the airport has two executive lounges as well as a separate, exclusive VVIP building for Heads of States and diplomats.

The airfield has two runways; RWY 13-31 (3,544m long x 60m wide) and RWY 05-23 (2,377m long x 45m wide) aligned nearly at right angles to each other. Runway 13/31 is served by a system of taxiways, enabling aircraft to turn round at each end of the runway and to gain access to and from Park 9 (the aircraft apron associated with the terminal building). Runway 05/23 has a parallel taxiway to the north-west which is 18m wide and taxiway systems, giving access to aircraft parks 3, 4, 5 and 6, as well as aircraft park 8 and runway 13/31.
