Air Malta celebrates new routes together with Malta International, London Southend and Cagliari Airports


Last weekend Air Malta started its much anticipated flights between Malta to London Southend, Malta to Cagliari and flights between London Southend, Catania and Cagliari Airports. Air Malta will continue to operate these routes in winter 2018/9.

The Maltese airline started operating a twice weekly flight to Cagliari in Sardinia every Wednesday and Sunday, a twice weekly flight to Catania every Monday and Thursday and three times weekly to Malta every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. Customers travelling to/from London Southend can also opt to travel via Catania or Cagliari thus connecting Malta and London Southend with a daily flight.

During an event at London Southend Airport Joseph Galea, Air Malta’s Acting Chief Executive stated, « We are delighted to launch our services from London Southend. This is not only a milestone for the airline, but it represents as well a strong commitment by Air Malta to
better connect the Mediterranean region to major European gateways.

Air Malta is following a growth strategy, expanding its operations with over 4,000 new sectors this year. Over the last six months we have launch 19 new routes some of which are not only connecting Malta to new destinations but are also offering intra-European services like Catania – Vienna and now London Southend – Catania and London Southend – Cagliari. We are aiming to continue expanding our operations as we become the ‘Airline of the Mediterranean’.

Glyn Jones, Chief Executive Officer of Stobart Aviation, owners of London Southend Airport said: “We’re delighted to welcome Air Malta to London Southend – the UK capital’s best and fastest growing airport. With our multi-award winning facilities offering the strategic
advantages and capacity that airlines want, fast and frequent train services to London, market-leading record for punctuality and a unique customer service that our passengers love, we look forward to providing an excellent service to passengers wanting to explore Malta,
Sicily and Sardinia.

Minister for Tourism Dr Konrad Mizzi commented, “This is a significant milestone for Air Malta and a further important step towards its growth.
Over the last nine months the airline has increased its capacity by adding new aircraft to its fleet whilst planning to carry more passengers this year. As a Government we fully support its strategy since we believe that it is an important pillar for our economy.”
