Air Malta is celebrating 40 years at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport. The airline started operating to the Netherlands around a year after commencing flight operations on April 1, 1974.

This summer Air Malta is operating daily flights to Amsterdam.

Chief commercial officer Joe Galea said: “We are excited to have reached this milestone. Forty years ago we opened up this market and throughout the years we have invested heavily on this route, on which we have carried over two million passengers. We look forward to continuing to operate to Amsterdam and achieving further milestones for the benefit of both Dutch tourists visiting our islands and Maltese who regularly visit this beautiful city.”

Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport has recently been named ninth best airport in the world at the 2015 World Airport Awards, organised by consumer aviation website Skytrax.
