Malta airport: overnight repairs on runway 13/31 planned from 16 to 19 November 2026

Malta International Airport plans overnight pavement repairs on the central section of runway 13/31 from 20:00 UTC on 16 November to 05:00 UTC on 19 November 2026, according to the airport events listing published by EUROCONTROL. The works cover the keel section of the runway, between taxiways D and E.

According to the entry, the works are subject to favourable weather, because aircraft operations are transferred to runway 05/23 while they take place. Once the work begins each night, runway 13/31 will not be available even in case of an emergency. The event is marked as having no impact on operations.

The same listing records several other projects at Malta's airport. Partial resurfacing of taxilane V/BL is under way until 30 November. A new turn pad at the runway 05 threshold and an upgrade of taxiway L are planned from 23 November until January 2027, and the runway 13 approach lighting is being upgraded to LED in phases until 26 January 2027. The eastward expansion of the main terminal is listed as ongoing and marked as having an impact.

The listing does not say whether any flight times will change during the night works. Passengers with late-evening or early-morning flights to or from Malta between 16 and 19 November should confirm their times with their airline before travelling.
