Malta International Airport will be opening its Departures Lounge to locals in an event aimed at the general public, particularly giving the opportunity to all those people who rarely or never travel to experience the feel of going through the airport. The event will be held on Friday 9 December from 7pm till midnight.

On the night, visitors will be experiencing the whole process all passengers go through when travelling. At first, the public will be asked to ‘Check-in’ by queuing up to receive the ‘Access Card’ which will enable them to go to the Security Screening Area, where they will be screened and allowed to move on to the Schengen and non-Schengen Departures Area, as if they were travelling.

Once entering the main Departures Lounge, everyone will be able to shop or dine while experiencing the unique feel of the airport’s Departures Area. The event will also allow locals to avail themselves of the advantageous prices which are usually available to travelling passengers, especially at the beginning of the Festive Season.

The date and time chosen for the event do not affect the normal operations at the airport as it is a period during which there are no departing flights. For further information, refer to www.maltairport.com or send an email to [email protected].
