Air Malta to offer holiday flights from UK regions
Air Malta will resume charter flights from six UK regional airports this summer.
From 1 May, the airline will operate weekly charter flights from Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, Newcastle and Norwich airports to Malta and Gozo.
The flights, which will be in addition to the airline’s regular scheduled services from Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester, will operate until the end of October.
Air Malta chief commercial officer Philip Saunders said the charter flights had been made possible following the support from regional airports as well as from tour operators and other travel trade partners.
"These operations further confirm the airline’s commitment to boosting incoming tourism to Malta from the UK, which is Malta’s primary tourism market," he said. We expect to carry around 48,000 passengers on these services."
