Air Malta and Qatar Airways have signed a comprehensive codeshare agreement, with the first flights under the tie-up slated to start on March 9.
The codeshare agreement increases Malta’s connectivity with Africa, the Middle East, Australia and Asia by enabling Air Malta’s passengers to travel on Qatar Airways’ flights between Malta, Doha and onward to more than 60 destinations.
Qatar Airways Group chief executive, Akbar Al Baker, said: “When we launched services to Malta in June 2019, I stated this was just the beginning of our long term commitment to boosting trade and tourism between our two countries. This agreement with Air Malta will provide significant benefits to both airlines, expanding our networks and setting the foundation to further enhance cooperation in other fields in the future.”
Air Malta chief executive, Captain Cliff Chetcuti, said: “This agreement is a milestone for Air Malta in its growth strategy and widening of its codesharing network. It was a natural step for us after Qatar Airways launched direct scheduled services to our Islands and the successful cooperation on pilot training.”
Qatar Airways began flying to Malta on 4 June 2019 with daily flights in the summer and a four-times weekly service during winter.
