Air Malta expands route network, lease Airbus A320neo

Air Malta will launch 15 new routes this summer, marking its biggest growth ever. The carrier has also secured the lease of 1 Airbus A320neo to help with the network expansion. The carrier resumes flights to Casablanca, Malaga and Lisbon. Thirteen new destinations will be added, including Cagliari, Comiso, Kiev, Tarbes–Lourdes, St Petersburg, Venice, Manchester, Frankfurt and London South End. Air Malta CCO Paul Sies said the airline is expanding operations “not just by concentrating on point-to-point connections, but also by tapping into new markets through a series of intra-European services.” This year, Air Malta will operate 18,230 flights; up 30% or an increase of 4,155 flights compared to 2017. <br/>
