With nearly 8,000 flights, 1.34 million seats, and 19 routes, we are not only expanding capacity but also strategically investing in markets that are most important to Malta’s tourism, business, and diaspora communities. By combining direct point-to-point services with access to the major passenger hubs across Europe, we provide an important number of connecting seats.” — David Curmi, Executive Chairman, KM Malta Airlines The airline’s Summer 2026 programme has been designed to meet strong demand across all markets while supporting Malta’s position as a leading Mediterranean destination.
