Malta has only one international airport and, contrary to popular belief, it is not located in the capital (Valletta), but in the centre of the island in the town of Luqa as you can see in the Map of Malta airports. Valletta is a fortified city barely 500 metres long, making it impossible to land a plane there. It is common for major international airports to be located in a city outside their capital, retaining the name of the capital to make it easier for travellers to recognise the destination. The same is true of Malta. Malta airport is sometimes referred to as Valletta Airport. Malta airport is located in the town of Luqa, in the centre of the island and away from the more populated towns (St Paul Bay, Birkirkara, Sliema, St Julian, Bugibba, etc.). The capital, Valletta, is about 8 kilometres from the airport.

Malta Airport is an international airport that handles around 6 million passengers a year. It is small in size compared to major European airports. Malta airport is not comparable in size and air traffic with airports such as Charles de Gaulle, Amsterdam or Frankfurt. Malta airport has only two runways and only one terminal as its shown in the Map of Malta airports. The passenger reception area is not very large and can be crossed in less than 5 minutes. All check-in desks are grouped in the same area (normal and low-cost flights). There are 12 food outlets at the airport (Costa Coffee, Cleland and Souchet, Fat Harry, Mcdonald, Burger King, etc.) as well as 27 points of sale, divided between the check-in area and the Duty Free area before the departure lounge.

The cheapest option for travelling to and from Malta airport is to use public transport. Malta does not have a metro or tram network, so buses are the only option. There are two types of buses that go to the airport. The express buses TD1 and TD2 only connect the centre of Bugibba and St. Julian, the ticket is €3 as its mentioned in the Map of Malta airports. Standard buses X1, X2, X3 and X4 make more stops, the ticket costs 1.5 euros (2 euros in summer). Getting to the airport by taxi is very easy and remains the safest option to avoid missing your flight. However, it is not advisable to use the standard Maltese taxis (White Taxis) which do not have a very good reputation on the island. There is a shuttle or minibus service that offers transfers between the airport and the main hotels on the island.
