Air Malta launch flights from Birmingham Airport

Air Malta announced today the return of charter flights from Birmingham Airport this summer.

Back by popular demand, the Maltese airline will operate two weekly charter flights to and from Birmingham every Tuesday and Friday, between May and October. The launch of these new services will increase accessibility to the islands and allow passengers to fly from their local airport.

Commenting on this new service, Philip Saunders, chief commercial officer for Air Malta, said: “Air Malta is building on its position in the UK as a leader in the market to Malta. Our summer charter operations further confirms the airline’s commitment to boost incoming tourism to Malta from the UK, and to bring Malta closer to their home. These flights also make it much easier for the Maltese market to visit the British regions.”
