The reality is that Malta International Airport dominates Luqa, serving over 9 million passengers annually. With constant expansion plans, including a recent proposal to add 32 more check-in desks and 6 new gates, the airport is the beating heart of this small town. However, the persistent bureaucracy required to operate the facility is a headache, as evidenced by the numerous security incidents over the decades. Overall, Luqa is best suited for those who prioritize convenient air travel over a tranquil, small-town experience.
