About Malta International Airport
Malta's only airport, at Luqa. World War Z used it as 'Atarot Airport' in its Jerusalem sequence. Back in 1978 Midnight Express filmed the scene where the hash taped to Billy Hayes's body is found at the old terminal, which has since been replaced by the current 1992 building, so that one won't look the same.
