Air France and Air Malta have signed a code-share agreement.

The French airline will place its code and flight numbers on flights operated by Air Malta to Paris Charles De Gaulle, Paris Orly and Lyon.

Starting on March 30, this agreement will enable Air France to offer its customers 18 weekly services between the two French cities and Malta.

Air Malta’s chief commercial officer Philip Saunders said: “By combining our flight offerings between the two countries, our customers will benefit from access to many European and intercontinental destinations operated by Air France from its Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Orly hubs.”
