Visit fascinating Malta
Drive and explore Malta.
Malta International Airport is located between Luqa and Gudja and is the only airport serving the Maltese archipelago. The airport is located on the site of the former RAF Luqa. The buildings have been completely renovated and Malta International Airport became operational on March 25, 1992. That is why the airport is still called Luqa Airport by the locals. The airport is also called Valletta Airport. Malta Luqa Airport is located southwest of Valletta, the capital of Malta.
Malta Luqa Airport Terminal includes passenger services and various retail services. There are shops in the airfield and on the ground area where you can buy a variety of things.
