Qatar Airways’ return signifies a strong recognition of Malta’s tourism potential. The new schedule will strengthen Malta’s connectivity with a variety of attractive and lucrative tourism source markets, and the Malta Tourism Authority remains fully committed to working in partnership with the airline to maximise business opportunities for Malta whilst ensuring the route’s sustained long-term success.” Flight Schedule at a Glance Departing every Wednesday and Friday: • Doha (DOH) to Malta (MLA) – Flight QR381: Departure 02:05; Arrival 06:45 • Malta (MLA) to Doha (DOH) – Flight QR382: Departure 10:15; Arrival 16:20 Departing every Monday and Saturday: • Doha (DOH) to Malta (MLA) – Flight QR383: Departure 08:45; Arrival 13:25 • Malta (MLA) to Doha (DOH) – Flight QR384: Departure 17:05; Arrival 23:10 Connecting the World Qatar Airways continues to set the benchmark for excellence in aviation, flying passengers from across the globe to nearly 50 European destinations via the world-class Hamad International Airport.
