How to read the board

Reading the arrivals board at Malta Airport

The board for Malta Airport uses a handful of status messages: scheduled means no change, expected or estimated gives the updated time, landed appears when the aircraft touches down, and delayed marks a later time than planned. After landing, passengers need a while longer to reach the Welcomers' Hall: the operator gives 250 metres from the arrivals entrance to the baggage reclaim area, and travellers from outside the Schengen area pass through passport control first.

One flight can appear under two numbers when airlines sell seats on each other's services. If you cannot find a flight number on the board for Malta Airport, search by the origin or destination and the scheduled time instead. Malta Airport operates 24 hours a day, so arrivals and departures can appear late at night and before dawn.

Tips for arriving passengers

Anyone meeting a passenger at Malta Airport should watch the status rather than the scheduled time and add the wait for luggage; arrivals from the United Kingdom also queue at passport control and may register for the Entry/Exit System.

The first 10 minutes in the car parks of Malta Airport are free, and a stay of up to an hour costs €2.50, so enter the car park only when the flight is shown as landed.

Bus passengers can buy tickets and travel cards in the Welcomers' Hall between 08:00 and 19:30 and at the machines at any hour; the Airport Direct buses leave from the bus terminal outside arrivals.
