Air Malta has announced it will commence flights from Glasgow Airport in 2014, which is month earlier than planned. The flight will add more than 1,300 extra seats. The inaugural weekly flight from Scotland’s largest city to the Mediterranean island nation will depart on Tuesday 8th April.
The decision of Air Malta to bring the first flight forward by four weeks is based on the demand around the Easter holidays, which fall in April this year. The flag carrier of Malta, Air Malta will serve the country’s only airport, located near the capital Valletta, every Tuesday until 21st October using 168 seats Airbus A320 aircraft. Malta is one of the popular tourist destinations of Europe with warmest climates which is renowned for its numerous resorts, activities and nine UNESCO World heritage sites.
According to Philip Saunders, Air Malta’s chief commercial officer, the airline is excited on returning to Glasgow Airport in 2014 and has decided to start summer 2014 programme earlier than planned due to increase in demand for shoulder and off-peak holidays.
In the words of Francois Bourienne, Glasgow Airport’s commercial director, the airport is looking forward to the return of Malta’ flag carrier this year after a successful summer in 2013. Air Malta offers a 20 Kg checked-in baggage allowance and 10 Kg hand baggage allowance for each passenger.
