KM Malta Airlines introduces Tel Aviv service
The airline says the new service to
the Israeli city of Tel Aviv will help
strengthen connectivity across Europe
and beyond
KM Malta Airlines is introduc-
ing a new Tel Aviv service twice
a week starting from 27 May.
The airline revealed its sum-
mer schedule on Tuesday, with
19 routes across Europe and
the Mediterranean.
Apart from the new Tel Aviv
service, which will run on
Wednesdays and Sundays, KM
Malta Airlines is also introduc-
ing a Tuesday morning service
to Brussels and a Thursday
afternoon service to London
Gatwick, bringing weekly Lon-
don frequencies to 23.
Air Malta, the previous itera-
tion of the national airline, used
to have Tel Aviv flights in its
regular schedule but cancelled
the service in 2023 due to secu-
rity concerns arising from the
7 October attacks from Hamas.
Throughout summer, the air-
line will offer two daily flights
to and from London, Munich,
Paris and Rome.
David Curmi, the executive
chairman of the airline, said
the summer schedule repre-
sents "a significant step for-
ward in strengthening Malta's
air connectivity".
"With nearly 8,000 flights,
1.34 million seats, and 19
routes, we are not only expand-
ing capacity but also strategi-
cally investing in markets that
are most important to Malta's
tourism, business, and diaspo-
ra communities. By combining
direct point-to-point services
with access to the major pas-
senger hubs across Europe, we
provide an important number
of connecting seats."
