Prime Minister Robert Abela, accompanied by the Minister for the Economy, Enterprise and Strategic Projects Silvio Schembri and the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Public Works Chris Bonett, inaugurated Ryanair’s new 700m 2<\/sup> offices in Malta.<\/p>\n

This latest investment represents another step in Ryanair’s long-standing commitment to Malta. These new offices will see 70 new high-quality jobs and bring the company’s Malta-based workforce to more than 500 highly skilled professionals across finance, safety, human resources, pilots, cabin crew, and engineering.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister remarked that Ryanair has become one of Malta’s key partners in the aviation sector. Adding that their new offices are “a symbol of confidence in Malta’s workforce, in our economy, and in our future.”<\/p>\n

Through Malta Air, Lauda, \u200b\u200band its associated companies, Fravel and AFL, Ryanair has established Malta as a hub for operations, training, aircraft leasing, and maintenance. To date, the airline has eight aircraft based locally and 190 aircraft registered on the Maltese registry. In addition, in 2022 Ryanair has also launched a \u20ac20 million aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) project, which project is expected to generate 250 highly skilled jobs and further consolidate Malta’s position as a center not only for aviation traffic, but also for engineering and innovation.<\/p>\n

He added that Ryanair’s expanding operations align with the Malta Vision 2050, which foresees aviation playing an increasingly central role in sustainable growth and development. Adding that for the government aviation is not only seen as a means of transport or an aircraft registry, but as a key economic sector that creates high-quality careers and opportunities. The Prime Minister stressed that Government will continue adopting a business-friendly approach while actively strengthening the aviation sector by investing in specialized facilities and services.<\/p>\n

David O’Brien, Chief Executive Officer of Malta Air and Lauda Europe, noted that Ryanair’s new offices in Malta mark yet another milestone in the company’s long-term investment in the country. He added that “Ryanair intends to continue investing significantly across various aviation niches in Malta, further strengthening the country’s position as a center of aviation excellence.”<\/p>\n

Today, aviation contributes around \u20ac600 million annually to Malta’s economy, provides thousands of jobs, and facilitates the travel of millions of passengers.<\/p>\n
