Air Malta inaugurates Madrid route

Air Malta has celebrated its return to Madrid for summer 2022. The route restarted on 4 April, with three times weekly operation on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The route has been announced as part of over 125 return flights per week to 18 key European destinations which are being served by Air Malta this summer.

“Our return to Spain’s capital city Madrid affirms our strategic commitment to connect the Maltese Islands to major cities and major airports and to the affluent European catchments,” said David G Curmi, Executive Chairman, Air Malta. “We have worked hard on an ambitious flight schedule that demonstrates our strong belief that travel and tourism will bounce back this summer. We have effectively doubled our capacity over last winter and this new scheduled service is a strong commitment by Air Malta to offer more travel opportunity both for Spaniards and Maltese alike to visit the respective countries and build stronger relationships.”

Roy Kinnear, Chief Commercial Officer, Air Malta, added: “We have started to see signs of recovery across our European markets with some regions responding faster than others. We are glad to connect Madrid once again to the Mediterranean islands of Malta. Over the last months we have worked hard to put in place a stronger sales and distribution strategy, signing agreements with key sales representatives in various markets including Spain and revamping our website and booking engine. I am optimistic that these changes, together with strong demand for travel next year, will support us to have a great 2022.”
