Air Malta started operating its winter schedule of operations. With over 210 direct weekly flights, coupled with its code-share partners’ flight network, the airline is offering multiple opportunities for winter visits.
“We are currently carrying more than 30,000 tourists every week. This winter we are planning to bring over half a million passengers. Malta offers a host of diverse attractions and activities for those seeking a short break from the winter blues. The islands are a lot more than just sun and sea,” the airline’s chief commercial officer Ursula Silling said.
“With our new product range, enhanced services to major European gateways, day trip opportunities to/from London and Catania, conveniently timed flight schedules and improved cooperation with our code-share partners to offer the best onward connections, we are confident of success,” Ms Silling added.
This winter Air Malta will start operating direct flights to Amsterdam and Brussels. Following increased demand as a result of the introduction of the code-share agreement with KLM, the airline is now in a position to offer direct services instead of combined rotations between Malta, Amsterdam and Brussels.
The code-share with KLM is also offering more opportunity for connections with North America. Air Malta will be retaining the same code-share agreements, offering more connectivity with destinations beyond its network. The list of current code share partner airlines includes Air France, KLM, Lufthansa, Brussels Airlines, Austrian, Swiss, Meridiana, Turkish Airlines, Aeroflot, Etihad and Emirates.
This winter Air Malta will be operating direct average scheduled weekly flights to/from: Algiers (2), Amsterdam (4), Athens (2), Berlin (3), Brussels (7), Catania (9), Dusseldorf (5), Frankfurt (6), Hamburg (2), London Gatwick (7) and London Heathrow (14), Manchester (4), Milan Linate (5), Moscow Domodedovo (2), Munich (7), Paris Charles de Gaulle (6) and Paris Orly (4), Rome (7), Vienna (4) and Zurich (7).
Air Malta operates a conveniently timed flight schedule to main city airports, offering easy access and connections with a reliable flight schedule. Together with partner airlines, the Maltese airline offers a network of over 100 destinations. The timetable is available at www.airmalta.com.
