Malta International Airport confirms CEO Alan Borg for another term

Malta International Airport’s Board of Directors today resolved to extend the contract of current Chief Executive Officer Alan Borg for another term until February 2024.

“The renewal of Mr Borg’s contract will ensure that continuity is maintained at the highest levels of decision-making at a time when there are several investment projects, which will see the long-term development of the airport campus,” said Board Chairman Nikolaus Gretzmacher.

“We are confident that with Mr Borg at its helm, the company can continue to deliver solid results.”

Borg was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Malta International Airport in January 2015 and has, since then, led the airport team with a vision of service excellence and put the guest experience at the core of the company’s strategy.

With an aim to continue improving the passenger journey, numerous terminal upgrades, some of the most noteworthy of which were brought about by the recent 12-million-euro Terminal Reconfiguration Project, were undertaken between 2015 and 2019.

During this time period, overall passenger satisfaction of guests travelling through Malta International Airport registered a year-on-year increase, eventually leading the airport to win Airport Councils International’s prestigious ‘Best Airport in Europe’ award in its size category for 2018.

About MIA

Malta International Airport connects the Maltese archipelago to over 100 destinations in more than 30 countries. Being Malta’s only air terminal, the airport hosts more than seven million passengers annually, of which the majority are inbound tourists.

To be able to cater for an ever-increasing number of passengers, the company has consistently invested in the terminal since the airport’s privatisation in 2002, with the Terminal Reconfiguration Project bringing about the most recent overhaul.

The airport campus itself has grown to provide over 1,500 parking spaces, and 14,000m² of office and retail space housed within SkyParks Business Centre, with projects in the offing set to bring about further expansion. The airport team is guided by a vision of service excellence, which led MIA to clinch the title Best Airport in Europe in 2018.

To maximise its contribution to Malta’s cultural heritage and environment, MIA set up the Malta Airport Foundation, an independently run non-profit organisation, which will be unveiling three projects in 2018.
