Under the terms of the agreement, Aviation Security Officers will benefit from improved salaries and allowances, enhanced training opportunities, and clearer career development pathways. These measures aim to not only recognize the dedication and professionalism of officers working at the airport but also to encourage further growth within the sector.

Speaking about the agreement, representatives from G4S Malta highlighted the company’s commitment to supporting its employees and investing in their futures. “Our Aviation Security Officers are on the frontline of safeguarding Malta’s international gateway. Their role is vital in ensuring the security and peace of mind of every passenger traveling through MIA. This agreement reflects our strong belief in rewarding their dedication and building a more sustainable and fulfilling career path for them,” a spokesperson said.

The GWU, which has long been an advocate for improved working conditions and fair representation of aviation security staff, welcomed the agreement as a positive step forward. The union emphasized that the collaboration with G4S demonstrates how dialogue and partnership can yield tangible benefits for workers while maintaining the highest levels of operational standards.

For passengers, this agreement translates into continued confidence in the safety of their travel experience. By ensuring that security officers are well-trained, fairly compensated, and motivated, the partnership between G4S and GWU also strengthens Malta’s reputation as a safe and reliable travel hub in the Mediterranean.

This new agreement not only enhances the well-being of employees but also sets a benchmark for how collaboration between employers and unions can create lasting positive outcomes. Both G4S Malta and GWU reaffirmed their shared commitment to uphold the welfare of staff while ensuring passenger safety and security remain top priorities at Malta International Airport.
