Air Malta offers choice of 40 destinations in summer

Air Malta will be offering a choice of 40 destinations this summer.

The airline has increased flight frequency to popular destinations such as London Gatwick, Munich, Vienna, Dusseldorf and Paris Charles de Gaulle while introducing flights to Turin and Genoa in Italy.

It is anticipating a seating capacity increase of over 120,000 in key markets like Italy, France, Germany and the UK.

Speaking about the summer schedule, Brock Friesen, Air Malta's chief officer commercial, said: "We are sticking to our strategy to operate a schedule with convenient timings to central airports that are close to the city they serve."

The strategy to operate more flights had translated into better opportunities for short-break traffic, helping the hotel industry increase bed nights, especially in shoulder months, while giving better connectivity to the Maltese public, he said.
