Malta International Airport - MLA

Malta International Airport is the only airport in Malta, Luqa and it serves the whole of the Maltese Islands. The airport is a hub for Air Malta and a focus city for Ryanair. It is composed of one main passenger terminal and a VIP Terminal called La Valette Club. The Main Terminal is divided into Arrivals, Departures, Schengen & non-Schengen areas. Non-Schengen passengers are considered 'foreign' passengers and thereby need to go through passport control. The departures gates for non-Schengen areas are Gates 11-15.

Some of the basic passenger services at this airport include airport lounges, banking services, Chapel, travel agencies, VIP services and Wi-Fi as well as charging points.
