Last week, Air Malta and Air France celebrated an inaugural flight, following their code-share agree­ment, with a ribbon-cutting event at Malta International Airport.

The agreement sees Air France placing its code and flight numbers on flights operated by Air Malta between Malta and Paris-CDG, Malta and Paris Orly, and also between Malta and Lyon. Travellers will benefit from 18 weekly services between Paris, Lyon and Malta.

“Through this combining of our flight offerings, customers will be able to access many European and inter-continental destinations operated from Paris’ Charles de Gaulle and Orly hubs,” said Philip Saunders, Air Malta’s chief commercial officer.

Both airlines’ customers will benefit from new services, including check-in for passengers with connections, and Air France passengers can earn miles with the Flying Blue loyalty programme.
