Almost all corona measures have been lifted at the Flughafen Wien AG subsidiary Malta International Airport in Luqa. This also includes that there is no longer a requirement to wear a mask and that the “compulsory counter” has also been abolished.

For departing passengers, this means that if they use online check-in options, they can use their boarding card to go directly to the security check again. For a long time, Luqa Airport has insisted that all passengers present their Corona documents at the check-in counter, even if they were already checked in online and had no checked baggage. Access to the security area was denied without confirmation from a CI agent. That's history now, because we've switched to normality. Masks no longer have to be worn inside the terminal. But on board the planes, because the government of Malta continues to instruct the airlines accordingly.

There are also changes for arriving passengers, as the PLF form has been abolished since Monday. This no longer has to be filled out. The 3G rule is still valid and will continue to be systematically controlled by the health authorities. Malta can imagine that there may be further easing of entry restrictions, but the 3G rule is to be applied first. Results of rapid antigen tests have also been accepted for a few weeks. Arriving passengers can remove their masks as soon as they exit the aircraft. There is no obligation to cover your mouth and nose on public transport such as buses.
