Malta International Airport is the Maltese island\u2019s only airport and its most important international gateway, connecting the country to the rest of the world.

\"\"\u00a0 Protecting the Environment<\/h3>\n

We commit to implementing proactive and effective measures to prevent pollution where possible, always considering the ecological implications of our actions.<\/p>\n

\"\"Legal Compliance<\/h3>\n

We commit to monitoring and complying with all applicable environmental laws, regulations and standards which apply to the airport.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"Continual Improvement<\/h3>\n

We are committed to continuously enhance our environmental performance by reducing or eliminating our negative impacts and conversely improving or increasing our positive impacts and reporting same in our Sustainability Report against targets which are aligned with our environmental objectives.<\/p>\n
