According to the Airport Council International’s results of its Airport Service Quality Survey 2009, which benchmarks the Global Airport Industry, Malta International Airport has been classified as Europe’s fourth best airport.

MIA is preceded by Keflavik, Zurich and Porto. Malta International Airport has also been classified as the third best in Europe for its shopping facilities – a result attributable to the recent improvements unveiled at MIA in 2009, most notably the expansion of the retail area with its innovative concept of a virtual walk-through shopping mall.

MIA also fared very well on other scores such as the availability of parking facilities and its related value for money where MIA placed fifth in Europe. Moreover, good results were notably achieved for the availability of banking facilities and Internet / Wi-Fi access where MIA also placed fourth in Europe.
