Malta International Airport treated its followers to a dose of nostalgia, sharing a series of throwback photos that reveal how the airport once looked in its earlier days.

Accompanied by the caption, ‘While we’re always looking ahead, sometimes it’s nice to look back and see how far we’ve come. Today, we’re taking a trip through time to explore Malta’s old terminal’, the post quickly captured the attention of locals and travel enthusiasts alike.

The images highlight the airport’s transformation over the years, from its simpler beginnings to the modern hub it has become today. For many Maltese, the old terminal holds fond memories of family trips, long-awaited reunions, and the excitement of their first flights.

Commenters were quick to share their own recollections, with some recalling the buzz of the departure halls and others reminiscing about the more intimate atmosphere compared to today’s larger, busier terminal.

Do you remember Malta’s airport looking like this?
